because she gets on the horse and gallops him, same thing she did on all those zito horses...but it has little to do with horse trainers they all do almost the exact same thing with thier horses every day,,,compare the training of lets say hard spun and street sense leading up to the derby....both galloped about a mile and a half every day then every 6th day or so they breezed 5/8ths of a mile,,,tell me what the difference is between horse trainers? btw at buelah park the horses gallop about a mile and a half every day then about every 6 days they breeze 5/8ths of a mile,,,so what does robert frankel do any different than some guy at remington park do? nothing as far as i can tell. the biggest difference i have encountered working for the so called elite trainers and in the minor leagues is veterinarians. its not the only difference because the trainers absolutely require that all the small things are done properly for the good horses and in the minor leagues they kinda say fock it more,,,but all that really doesnt make much difference its all about the horses constitution, a good horse will run well regardless of the trainer not vice a versa. swaps was ridden as a trail horse in the off season as was all the rex ellsworth horses in the 50s and 60s,,,,,i want someone to tell me or show me the difference in what these trainers do in the daily routine? i worked at many race tracks including saratoga for instance,,,what i saw day in day out is every trainer doing almost the exact same thing with thier horses whether it be biancone,mott,pletcher, you name the trainer,,,enlighten me what does one trainer do that another doesnt that makes success? the wild card from what ive seen is the veterinarian and even those guys all have the same stuff,,,so whats the difference in some trainer at beulah and at saratoga? i am convinced its the difference in the feeding program, the trainers at saratoga are feeding better horses than the trainers at buelah....seriously enlighten me?
