Having worked for Gasper when he started up his racing service I can tell you he was a very honest gentleman. We would talk about this stuff from time to time. I ust to kid him about the miracle turn around in form when horses were claimed by certain trainers of his time. He told me once there were things that he would do that were so simple I couldn't figure out why more trainers didn't do it. One thing he did was all his horses ate their hay on the stall floor. He pointed out that's the way they eat in the wild. By hanging the hay up it forced them to strain their necks from being in unnatural position. He also liked to claim older consistent animals. He didn't like dealing with younger ones. He was talking about coming back but then he left the scene.
