Through Saturday 7/17, Juan Guerrero had 140 starters and 60 wins, 28 seconds, 19 thirds for a win % of 42.9% and ITM of 76.4%. Phil Aristone and Ed Auwarter trail Guerrero each by 11 wins (49 a piece through Saturday) and had a combined 349 starters more than Guerrero.
His ROI is going down now due to people jumping on him but, he seems to be putting his horses in spots that they can win all the time. I picked up on him a few weeks ago and made decent profit on him.

He is like Woody Stevens, Charlie Whittingham and Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons all rolled up into one fantastic trainer! Surely some big owners should give him a few million dollars worth of horses as he could probably win a few Triple Crowns and maybe even sweep the Breeders Cup card if they keep those pesky Europeans out of the turf races.

Would he be a distant relative of Oscar Barrera

I got so bored with watching the Juan Carlos show yesterday at Philly Park, that I started wagering on Ft. Pierce Jai Alai (and happened to pick the winner of 3 games in a row)...

I really don't see how it is good for racing when certain trainers dominant like this....

Yes but cheating is sanctioned there. It is the Wild West. So who cares? It is part of the deal.
