I don't know. If a betting style is slanted towards trainer betting, its probably going to suffer. A much more sound betting style is to work at ascertaining which horse should be best in the spot that day.
I also think most of the big winners for the huge juice boys, go off at fairly unrenumerative odds. Occasionally you'll get the jump up juice horse at 10-1 plus but not that often and when you do its generally a "I'm just betting the trainer this race" score. Its harder to do right now, but theres still value in beating the "Frankel Cheaters" but you have to pick your spots.
What will happen of course is that the horse will matter more and the medicine will matter less and picking the horse will become a bigger part of the game again.
I like that.
