I've been a regular NYRA player for 30 years now, and bet I follow the drug trainers more closely than almost anyone. My perception is that over the past 6 months or so, the number of drug trainers have stayed the same but the length of their "ON" cycles has decreased. Schettino won at a ridiculous rate at SAR and now can't sniff the winner's circle. Everything Levine ran at the end of the AQU meet jumped before he cooled off heading into the INN (he's getting hot again). Martin (before he got busted) was winning off the claim like he did last year at this time but only for IEAH. Even Labo had a streak last year where he lost with 7 or 8 straight claims. What makes this such a bitch is thats there's no way to tell from the PP's who is on and who isn't. I think there's a general perception that if you "use" only sporadically they'll leave you alone. Or at least that's the way was before the feds got involved.

I miss the black and pink of OSB. No guessing at trainer intent there...
