That's what ladies said about Simon Bray until his hair started falling out.
People forget, but Simon Bray was a very damn good horse trainer. Absolutely one of the better ones in the entire country. He's a classic example of why horse trainers make terrible analysts.

He was inept. He's right up there with Alex Hassinger and maybe even Bradshaw.

From 2000 to 2002 he was 58-for-254 (23% wins) and had a great $2.82 ROI while training on a very tough year round circuit in So Cal. He was 7 for 21 in Graded Stakes races and won Grade 1 stakes with two different horses. I think you assume he was inept because you've listed to him talk on TVG.

Obviously he got to start with nice stock ... he was a Bill Mott asst in the 90's and Allen Paulson took care of Bray when he went out on his own to train. When Paulson died Bray lost his owner - Startac was taken from him just days after winning a Grade 1 stakes. That's when his hair started falling out and he became a brutal tv analyst.
