So what's so great about winning 70%? It means he was losing 3 out of 10...

I decided a while back that when I had to factor into my handicapping whether or not a horse saw the vet/chemist before a race, that race, and more and more, the game, is unplayable..
No excuses or sour grapes here.. Having been an owner, I understand the business of the sport..
However, when horses and trainers start to do the seemingly impossible, and it continues, that's when I get off the merry go round...
I can accept a bad or suspicious ride once in a while.. The race looks different on a horses back than it does on a TV screen and guys make mistakes..
I cannot accept a formerly "nobody" trainer jumping up and winning 30 % + of his races and having ordinary horses overcome extraordinary circumstances...
