The Sheets and Thorographs have reached the point of being obscene. I never understood trainers claiming exclusively off a figure.

In the era where there are a handful of trainers that have so many horses that they dont particualrly care if they make a bad claim, sheets are a a crutch to use in leiu of doing homework. Iwinski was a guy who I always respected not just because he won but because he was always out by the paddock at whatever track he was stabled at looking at the potential claims and making notes. Of course there are guys that still do this but usually they are smaller outfits that cant afford to make mistakes.
