Chuckles,
Lukas is the comeback Kid and he always will be. He will be around as long as he wants to be around.
>With scant evidence to back them up, bettors have been grumbling about form reversals, especially in cases of the so-called "supertrainers." These trainers have emerged recently to post winning and in-the-money percentages that far exceed any historical precedents. Some of these trainers have been able to hit the high percentages with low-level claiming horses. Many of these horses, in their first or second starts off a claim, suddenly run faster and for longer than at any other time in their careers.
Where have we heard this before. SuperTrainers, ridiculous Speed Figures, Top after Top after Top. Actually Sheets have as usual been out in front of this. The numbers make things a little more visible than in most other cases. The Mineshaft year Beyer probably gave out more figures over 115 than ever. Even his system began to get a little whacky.
One Rocket has nothing on Terriyaki Stake on old Oscar Barrera claimer. She won SIX races in 30 days moving up in class everytime. Nothing was done to stop it so why would we expect anything now.
Here is a better idea, instead of spending the money attempting to stop the use of "Milkshakes" why not spend it for those who are not using them.
They may find this way is much cheaper, if you know what I mean.
