Dale Baird should be in the Hall of Fame.

His stable was basically Auschwitz for Equines .. and he won about 10,000 races with horses who mostly went on to fill dinner plates for this here feller...




Truthfully - Baird deserves to get in for no other reason than because he was by far the worst trainer in history in terms of betting value. It takes a real special kind of operation to lose at triple the track takeout - and do so with a sample size of literally several thousands of starts.

I don't think there was a better track to play around when Baird was alive and MTR had slots. The dude had about four or five horrendous favorites a day for five days a week for 52 weeks a year. They'll never be anything like it again.
