Mullins is still getting it done. He's winning at 24% this year and his new horses are overachieving all of the time. Even with his bodybuilding distractions, he's doing the work of a God with what he has.
Mullins and Mike Mitchell have been the leading alchmeists of the So. Cal circuit for a great long while now.

West won at like 30% a few years back, I got a few good West stories.
I forgot about Mitchell, but it feels as if his horse move ups are not nearly as pronounced.
I was with Mitchell and a friend of mine who claimed a horse for 20k or so and moved him to 50k (back when those #'s meant something at Del Mar) and there was little doubt he was going to win (it ended up being very close), and we all scored out at 9/1.
