CH-- I agree with some of this, don't with some. Yes, it is much harder to tell whether a trainer is moving up his horses if he has the horse from the start. But in the spring of 01, Frankel's entire barn moved up about 4 points in a 2 month period-- and they were almost all older horses, because that's what he trains. We heard later that's when Allday started working for him.
I don't agree that it is not my concern as a handicapper that trainers are cheating (and that doesn't even address the issue of competing with them on the racetrack). I don't want to guess, and I don't want to play a game in which there is a large amount of what amounts to inside information-- someone knows more than me, and they are competing with me in the pools. At best, it takes getting beat by a few jump-ups before we figure out what's going on, and overall it introduces another hard to quantify variable, even if you have info or deduce something is going on. If we know what we are doing as handicappers, we want as little of that as possible.
If I was making the rules there would be 24 hour detention barns at every track, they would be freezing samples, trainers and vets would be required to sign off on everything administered for every race, and there would be a vet of record listed in the program.
