Your analogy would be correct if they got a bunch of junior college transfers and slow white guys to win. The troubling thing about Wolfson is the unimaginable improvement of horses with consistent records far below what he gets them to run. The stuff that he says he does to his horses is no different than most good trainers. Epsom salts, magnetic blankets, changing shoes, etc. Oscar used to say it was the shoes too.
Speaking of shoes either Beyer made a typo or Wolfson was misquoted because I have never heard of a racehorse wearing a size 3 shoe. It is impossible for a horse to go from size 3 to size 6, impossible.
