Latest supertrainer feat raises suspicion

Thoroughbred racing has become less a test of horses than it is a competition among trainers. The most successful have been dubbed "supertrainers" because they achieve results almost without precedent. They compile winning percentages that dwarf the records of horsemen enshrined in the Hall of Fame. They acquire horses and transform them in ways that history's greatest trainers never dreamed of. Accordingly, bettors disregard the normal logic of handicapping when they evaluate horses saddled by Rick Dutrow in New York, Bruce Levine or Jason Servis in New Jersey, Marty Wolfson in south Florida, Kirk Ziadie and Jamie Ness at Tampa Bay Downs, Jeff Mullins in California and countless other miracle workers.

That wasn't quite where I was going. I was thinking more that maybe there's something with the timing of races there.

A disturbing column by Beyer that points to the many miles this sport needs to go to remove the cheaters, permanently. One can't really appreciate the horses fully when juicers ply their trade .
