Lou,
I'll make it simple. The name of the trainer shipping a horse for this race is irrelevant.How a horse mentally/physically ships, his overall ability vs the competition affects the win % greatly. Stats don't tell you about a sharp trainer shipping to easy spots where his horses will dominate.Its about sharp placement, not shipping.TG puts a lot of little factoids as part of being the most comprehensive product for those who place value in it.
Derby is unique, for example TAP is a "prolific" ship trainer generally but is 1-38 shipping in for derbies. What trainer is a "derby" shipper? Answer none, therefore the trainers shipping % is irrelevant in this race.
