if these trainers could really juice their way to wins, wouldn't they have all their horses running in all the stakes? i mean, if it's so easy.....

i saw where SA got a six month ban. is that the norm? seems to be pretty stiff to me....

also, some are really good at looking at a horse and seeing something that tells them they could be special. look at lava man. or anew. sometimes it's a change of surface (cigar, mineshaft) distance, equipment change (some minor, some major--aheam, ANEW)...or they get better with age, like john henry.

anyway, if it was so easy to claim a horse and make his a stakes winner, they'd do that every day. esp asmussen, he has a ton of horses. ought to be cleaning up all over i guess....
