Overcoming Trainer Adversity: the City Stormer Story

[tfm]

Jack Carava has been training City Stormer since at least 8/18/07 and he just claimed him back after losing him 2 races back.

Don't know Carava personally, but he has to be just about the biggest dumbass in training. It took 11 races for Carava to finally get it right:

1) City Stormer is NOT a router
2) City Stormer is NOT a turf horse
3) City Stormer is a SPRINTER but needs MORE than 5.5F

I've seen this horse run 2 huge races going 5.5F and each time, he's been routed next time out (by Carava and the other trainer)

Today, City Stormer got to go a distance he could handle, 7F, and he GALLOPED at a very generous 5:1.

Easy game when you know how to place your horses.

And, after 2 tough beats at long odds, it's nice to have the game 'make sense' again.
