If you have closely followed New York Racing for the past few years, you would have noticed about 5 to 8 trainers who rarely won a race. These same trainers now win at a much higher percentage than they ever did before.Their stock is about the same.
I'm a regular on the NY Racing scene and I would bet my money that these same trainers who now win at a much percentage didn't learn horsemanship all of a sudden.It is inconceivable that there isn't all kinds of shakes, blood doping et al going on in NY amongst a handful of these guys.
It's sad, but I believe that the Shake testing is well meant, but there's a lot more than 'SHAKING' going on.As far as trying to factor that in, I don't know one of my many seriouS betiing pals who are not gun shy by all of this.Not to make light of whatever amount you bet, it's tough to bet large amounts of money right now with the Feds running all over the BIG A and all sorts of stories being told.
