I suspect Asmussen is going to have a huge (i.e. 'typical') meet and make your stats irrelevant.

He won the baby race at KEE today (no surprise), 2nd at 4-1 in a MCL, and 6th at 8-1 in an ALW. I still think it's profitable to fade his (non 4.5F) horses at Keeneland on the poly. That being said... it's not the abysmal numbers he had a few years ago on it when every runner was bombing at 4/5.

Bindner has been around forever it seems. Won the Foster with Colonial Colony, and has trained several stakes winners, mostly of turf stakes. Has a small stable, and normally follows the KY circuit and FG, but didn't winter at FG this year.
