Despite what people tell you, trainers can't move a horse up that much. Almost all trainers follow very similar routines. Trainers that win at freaky percentages have access to designer synthetic drugs that are not detectable. It is that simple. A horse can improve slightly from one trainer to another, but horses don't all of the sudden get faster. Just like 40 year old pitchers in baseball don't all of the sudden have career years and 40 year old swimmers start breaking records.

People want to believe that there aren't cheaters, especially if they root for the person or horse, but only a person that lacks reason can believe these trainers are doing it because they are exceptional horseman.
