You can't really believe anything a trainer says about his/her horses. . . (Sadly I didn't listen to my own advice today.)

casino drives connections appear to be legit, and only care about the horse.. unlike most trainers over here

It has nothing to do with caring about the horse - how can they quantify a horse's fitness level like that? Especially when he's so lightly raced?

Those Japs rock those horses out.

When I was living in Australia, a trainer told me that anytime a horse was returned from Japan or Hong Kong that it would lose it's mind and cower in the stall if an asian walked by or was anywhere around.

Apparently they are pretty rough on them, this is just hearsay though. And more Hong Kong than Japan due to the constant back and forth with the Aussies and Hong Kong runners.
