I've said it before - I don't understand how a guy like Klarman who's a brilliant investor doesn't see something wrong with his program and try to switch it up a bit. I guess spreading horses out to other trainers has helped marginally, but it still hasn't been enough.

My point is both 'programs' don't mind sacrificing a horse's longevity to try to get them to win early and often. Obviously Klaravich has better stock and thus can keep one around occasionally.
