I also wonder if the Paco Gonzalez stat cited in the analysis was a bit misleading. 26% overall and 40% off of layoffs, the analyst made a simplistic (?) case that Paco is the type of trainer that gets them to pop off the bench, and their form declines after that... Is that really true? If only 10-20% of his runners are layoff runners, and he clicks at 40% with those runners, then what would that make him with his other runners? 20%? Higher? If it's ~20%, doesn't that make Paco Gonzales an *excellent* trainer in races other than "off the bench"?

It would seem to me he may specialize in layoff situations, but he's excellent all-around, no?
