I may not be following NYRA as closely but who is this trainer? I have not heard of him before and it looks like he is winning at a 50 percent clip but how is it different from the other super trainers who win at a ridiculous rate?

Rudy is a journeyman jockey who rode infrequently in NY until recently when he started training, would get mostly longshots, but Dutrow would give him some live horses to ride. I think he also worked horses for Dutrow in the morning.

What makes him different is that most suspect he learned his tecniques from Dutrow and he is not just winning at a clip that even the so called supertrainers don't in NY, the horses that he is running are showing vast improvements since being in his care.

Now that you mentioned he was a jockey, I think I remember him. A learned crook from the Dutrow school of chemistry.

How about the conspiracy that ole Rudy is just a testing ground for his boy who gave him some steam mounts over the years.

He rode Frost Giant to victory in the Suburban in 2008.

The difference is that it is an exjock who apparently has either got his horses doing daily high impact Pilates to improve performance almost immediately or has discovered the next generation of undetectable chemical advantages immune to conventional testing.

You want to choose which one it is.....?
