This is not intended to be a sore loser rant but more about what the hell is going on in the sport we invest in. I can't believe that none of the authorities have not started to investigate the "Super Training Feats" of Mr. Jamie Ness. Mr. Ness when I last looked is winning at a 47% clip at Tampa and 40% overall in North America, second I might add to Steven Asmussen who has 4 times the amount of horses running at all tracks. If you look at most of Mr. Ness's stock they are nothing more than everyday claimers that fill the bulk of all races in North America, but it is stock that other trainers could not win with and had given up on. Yet if you look at his horses in post parade you would think they are the equine version of "The Hulk". They all go off as chalk and from the moment the gate springs open they go flat out and there is no bottom to them and yet on new claims by Mr. Ness there is nothing, numbers or otherwise which would lead any handicapper to believe that this horse was about to wake up. I remember back in the 90's a good friend Frank Passero set the record for consecutive wins at Gulfstream and rather than have Frank bask in his achievement one who will go unnamed put his fist through the pressbox wall at Gulfstream because he lost a bet and started what was the famous investigation of Frank Passero. This investigation was eventually called off and Frank was proven innocent but this wrong doing almost ruined his career. I don't bring this up because I'm a sore loser but it's with concern over the game I have for over 40 years, made a living at investing on the horses. Because of these "Training Miracles" I just have to write off any race in which Mr. Ness has a starter so therefore the game I have been apart of is pushing me away. In closing I will say that at the least Mr. Ness has the right name because at this point he believes he is "Untouchable".
