No,it's not at all o.k to "have an edge." What I was saying is that it isn't "a perception" that these guys have an advantage. It's a fact. As far as having owners change trainers, it's a lil late out here for that. I don't think that very many trainers in SOCAL are winning much unless they are cheating in some way. All our leading trainers have been caught cheating. It's not gunna work out here (geting owners to move to different trainers.) The only successful day in/day out one I would suggest is Ron Ellis. He is probably clean, but I don't think he is realistic (his horses don't race very much.) He is a good trainer for the very wealthy(they can afford to wait n' wait.)Hey, we know who cheats. They do have positive tests. We just don't punish them enough to hurt them. It's a trainer's game. Anyone could have seen that on display last Friday Night when Stein unleashed that bomb closed on incredibly slow fractions(the only one that could.) P4 paid 24k, and if you don't think heavy breather had that, then you're kid'n yourself. It's a trainers game.
