Hey, so do I at times. LOL.
Oh well, back to racing.
Just curious cause I read a thread you had something to say in a different forum about 90% of good horses going to a limited few trainers in NY.
Interesting.
Just curious, what do you think the reason behind that is?
Good trainers? Trusting owners? Or some that aren't improving what they've got? Really interesting.
I'd like to learn more.

because it's easier? go with a name you've heard of, rather than do some research?

or much like in school, i once heard the term 'better dead than different',because most feel safer to follow the crowd?

Because when any new money comes into the game, they are all pretty much advised to go to a supertrainer. There are a number of reasons, name recognition being one of them but many times the advisors are people who breed or sell horses who love to curry favor with the guys who can affect who buys their horses. Short term businesswise maybe a good move for the advisors but since they are slowly squeezing the life out of the upper level of the racing business, longterm it will probably lead to a decreased market value for horses. With a few notable exceptions, it rarely works out for the new money.

Thanks for taking the time to explain. Much appreciated.

This thread has gone through many divergent places.
I'll bring it back to Mr. Cheney as I think he has done some serious damage to our country. Here is John Dean's view:

For those that might not know who John Dean is, he was the White house counsel under Nixon.

I got attacked some threads' back for taking time to point out who John Dean was, DTS. Just to give you a heads' up you may be in for some bashing.
