How can this guy stay in business?

as some of the guys that hang out at the OTB would say "he's due".

All I know is if and when he ever hits the board, or god forbid actually wins a race, the toteboard will need extra decimal places to display the payoffs.

He'll probably also need a guide or escort to help him locate the winners circle.

He has a couple horses that could win but the problem is he likes to enter them way over there head and often out of condition. He ran a bunch of horses at River this summer and instead of putting them against bottom maidens or non 2's he would put them on the grass in 25k allowance races. I was told however he is a doctor of some sorts and has dough.

this would make for a good freelance piece
I may try to dig this guy up
pick his brain
I guess he contradicts the Tom Petty song:
"even the losers, get lucky some time"

I really don't know...

I google'd him and there is someone by the same name who owes almost $200k in taxes.

marty mcgee wrote a blib about him in the form this past summer and he refused comment. He probably just wants to be left alone.

This guy's just a goof. I've seen him run horrific maidens in stake races in kentucky. He trains his own "stock"...

I'm not sure if I want to go to a doctor who cannot even pick up on the basics of training horses, like if you never win a race you may be spotting the horse incorrectly.

Ironic this guy is a doctor. The worst trainer I'd ever seen before him was a guy in Chicago in the early/mid 90s named William Davis, who was a dentist. He'd maybe go 2 for 100 or 2 for 130 for a year.

Perusing the MNR PP's the other evening I saw a jockey that was 0-184 on the year, riding for a trainer that was 0-80something on the year.

That's hard to do.
