How does Reavis suck?

He's been winning an average of 1 race per week for 35 years, with a 20% win percentage.

What makes him a bad trainer?

Um, the fact that he has about 100 horses and more then 75 of them he paid 15k for and they are running for 5k now. He isn't a good trainer, and from seeing him in action, his care for the horses is lacking, which explains alot.

Him and Frank Kirby are two guys I would love to claim off of here if I was working with a purchase bankroll.

Reavis has averaged over $4,000 per start the last 15 years. How is that bad for a trainer on the circuits he runs?

I'd be surprised if he had anywhere near 100 horses there days but if most of what he has cost $15k, I'm hardly surprised that most of them run for a nickel. What else would you expect?

Anyway, I hope you get your bankroll up.

Winner paid $4.30x25=$107.50. Got most of my money back from that wasted pick 5 attempt.

I'd love to hear how you figured out that 4k per start number, please document.

Feel the love.

Now, I would love to hear how you figured out Reavis has 100 horses these days.

I sucked so bad, I couldn't have hit the broad side of a barn even if I was leaning on it

he had two barns at Arlington last year, plus he has mares plus foals as he is a breeder.

He might even have more then 100.

At Hawthorne, he is a top three trainer, but he isn't a trainer I trust when betting, just my opinion
