What do you think its friggin ballet lessons in the morning. You think because you can identify a horse with a fuild stride that is willing to change leads on demand that this makes you special.. If it did trainers wouldnt have to train they would simply watch horses and just bet the good movers.. Go watch Easy Goers action vs. Sunday Silience.. to completely different actions yet both extremely fast. Sunday Silience was "nibble" so what he wasn't faster. Maybe Shug should have sent him for more dance lessons.

horses for the most part have consistent (correct or incorrect) footwork

injuries or drastic changes in distance/surface/riding style, or even traffic/bumping can throw them off.

logic says that the trainers who are aware of footwork mostly use it for selecting/avoiding horses rather than a whole lot of ballet instruction

your post made me wonder if there's ever been a racehorse named "the Flamingo Kid".
I know there is an "Idol Maker"

and yes.... Flamingo Kid

You got it exactly right: the reason I do so well playing turf sprints is because I'm able to pick out those horses that change leads on demand.
Secret's out.

well if linda pulls this off it will have to be the greatest upset in the history of horse racing , i mean hear we have a 20 % trainer who is able to double her win percentage during this meet and start a lot less horses than todd or bill , it's like she in a david vs goalith fight here , gotta root for the underdof to bring home the training title

my guess is that a lot of her horses will be good bet againsts back at belmont as they will be very tired from an exhausting 6 weeks in upstate NY

training feats , i mean come on drugs , what other trainer can have more wins in 4 weeks at the spa than 3 whole months at belmont , this is a monumental achievement with this stock

11 winners at belmont for 3 months , perhaps 18 or 19 winners in a short 6 week meet upstate , simply stunning , a remarkable turnaround , a feat so difficult to accomplish that it throws drugs stats into total chaos

Jamie Ness winning Tampa in 2006-2007 was a far bigger upset.

This years trainers race for Saratoga was so up for grabs - that I didn't bother to throw up my odds for it in a post because it would have taken a lot of time and thought to figure out.
