Absolutely, given that scenario, I would make the bet. If the trainer had better stats, the horse would be more like 8/1 instead of 30/1. In fact I would be more concerned that the horse would not run well if the trainer had good stats and the public lets him go off at 30-1. Those type don't pass the smell test for me.
