Agree again. Most races are for non winners, in fact two/three years ago, on the Delmar backstretch, of the 1200 horses over 500 had NEVER won!
California, for instance, offers, outside of staters and youngsters two maiden classes; straight and $20K. With the plethora of firsters the morning line is worthless, as a rule.
On Ken, he bets heavily. Often Maker, and others, will serve up a free squares in a sequence, clearly giving an edge in the pools; such is racing; and many perceive drugs as a problem.
As for Rusty, I kept his books for a few years and will not comment beyond he has few clients, most of his stock are future broodmares and it would be foolish to slight their chances on the basis of odds; as history has shown. bbb
