The best trainers lose about 80% of their races and its because the other trainers are also going and trying all out. Their also choosing the right race conditions of dis., surface etc.There can only be one winner. The public actually does a better job at picking winners then trainers, it all comes down to the horse and its ability. Except for some poor luck etc. or occasional things during the running of the race the best horse wins.
Trainers, jockeys and owners all become blinded by their own personal interest and aren't as honest as the public or us as handicappers are. No different then any parent when it comes to their kids. Their the best in all categories such as brains, looks etc.
At the classiest tracks of N.Y. or Cailf. any trainer or jockey can win if given the right horse. To include ranked 20th in the standing as they'll beat the top ranked ones with the best horse. Trainers and jockeys just aren't primary factors. As handicappers its up to us to determine the top contenders, pace lines and interpretation of readouts. We control our own destiny.
