If it didn't work to your advantage, why in the world would you be using it????

There are cheaters in this game..... trainers who win with more than 20% of their starters are cheaters, its that simple.... admit it or not, love the sport or not, its just the way it is.... quit deluding yourselves...

not every med that's used is for an 'advantage'. horses require meds for other than boosting their performance!

Great you "genius", anyone who is good at winning races has to be cheating, I get it now.
You grow up near power lines?

pba, you must really be sour about poor wagering or something.

Not everyone who wins is a cheater. Have you ever heard of Occam's razor? Stop looking for a conspiracy. Are there cheaters? Yes. Are there bad people in the sport? Yes. Is it true that anyone who wins above 20% is a cheater? NO!

Occam's razor says the simplest explanation/solution is most often the correct answer.

Her is what I think happens with most trainers who have that high a winning percentage. THEY SPOT THEIR HORSES CORRECTLY!

Some start with really good stock, some are superb conditioners, but all the ones who win a lot....SPOT THEIR HORSES CORRECTLY!
