As far as a horseman, why cant he ever get his horses to the races and why do his talented horses fail to ever have long useful careers with very few exceptions?

I believe its a fair criticism. I've wondered the same thing myself.

What about someone like Ronny Werner? It seems like I only hear his name being associated with 2 year olds. Am I wrong? If not, what happens to them down the road?

Ronny is good at getting them to the races and winning early. He has had more success the last few years at winning with other types of horses. He does not get anywhere near the stock the Ward does.

Strong Contender, a four-year-old Maria’s Mon colt out of the Dynaformer mare Kopenhagen, suffered what turned out to be an unspecified career-ending injury while finishing fifth in the Hal’s Hope Handicap (G3) at Gulfstream on January 6, according to a press release from trainer John Ward.

ok, this horse suffered an injury, which went undetected til hours before his next scheduled start? why am i skeptical-and am i wrong for being so?

And he worked 5 furlongs in 59 two weeks after the race and came back nine days later to work 4 furlongs in 50.
