Sorry, but I think you misunderstood me. I suspect (the operative word) that something is being done differently by the track management in how it is approaching testing, detention, whatever...to the effect it has a chilling effect on the super trainers.
I don't KNOW anything, but the outcomes at Saratoga seem substantially different this season. A 25% trainer has become a 15% trainer. Historically speaking, you would expect 15% from a top barn with top horses, but not from TAP.
Maybe he'll get hot as the season goes on...maybe not. Meanwhile, I'll bet him differently at different tracks.
