I like uncoupling because i feel that my horsepower knowledge outweighs any 'shenanigans' that might go on with two different trainers. If you can 'snif out' which trainers seem to win with the higher priced one of their runners, you can make money if you believe this is something thats not happening by chance.
I believe that judges have to fine/suspend jockeys for manipulating running style on a trainers horse to help the other member of the stable. Part of uncoupling is that its all for one and one for all.
Doug O'neill had Cambiocorsa a few nights ago at Hollywood and she was a speedy 8-5 shot. O'Neill had another horse in the race for a different owner and jockey Cohen strangled this one dimensional speedster 20-1 shot and was no where near the loose and lonely Cambiocorsa. Should Cohen be called in for 'lack of effort"?
If i wagered on the Cohen-ridden horse, i'd want a run for my money, you didn't get that in this case.
I did 'predict' that Cohen might not send, so him not trying to win was predictable by some handicapping methods, but i'd prefer every horse to be ridden to its style...if that not happens, i feel the jockey or trainer should be called in and questioned about the lack of effort.
