I have no idea how to train a horse and i dont pretend to know. Maybe Chuck or one of the other trainers can comment on how to train a horse not to hang.

I would like to make this point googling up Murray Johnston's training record, but I can't right now....however I do remember him being 0 - 44 at one point in the season while shipping Perfect Drift out west to run in a Gr.1 race. Perfect Drift ran second in that race, no slight accomplishment, now maybe if the Trainer was Dutrow like he would have won that race. Yes It's speculation, however the reality is maybe someone could have done better with him given the Trainer's low win %.
