Mike Chambers
 
I haven't been playing the races much for a while so excuse me if this has been discussed.

I started looking at the TUP card for today (Tue, 12-14-10) and nearly schittt myself when I noticed the win percentage of Mike Chambers (40 24-8-4 = 60%).

Is it me or is the drug issue becoming worse? Can anyone possibly believe this guy is winning at 60% legally?

I know there is probably a reason but for the life of me I cannot understand how guys like this aren't caught and tossed from the game. Mind boggling!

he is a master shoeman and tongue tie applier

Is he training for one or a small group of rich owners that are in it primarily to win at all costs?

It's possible, and is happening in more places than not.

his previous years are pretty close.

Here is an old article about a medication violation ( clenbuterol ) suspension he received

I was at TUP on Sunday Dec 5th while visitng the in-laws and son. We all went to the track and Chambers only had 2 horses entered that day. Both won comfortably and were pathetic odds. I noticed the win percentage in my BRIS form. Both horses were standouts regardless of the trainer but still was pretty amazing to see the numbers he had put up.

Chambers used to keep his main stable in SoCal for several years (IIRC he had one in Washington as well). In the recent past he had stopped training and was running some sort of lay-up facility that was popular with the CA horsemen.

I wonder if the vast majority of his stable is made up with horses from that circuit and he's taking advantage of a sizeable class edge.

There's a couple of other SoCal trainers that run frequently at TuP and the difference in their stats between the two circuits is quite substantial.

when he was on fire here at EMD, he took the Sheik's rejects for which some owners bought super cheap and won everything in sight

I read that he has been suspended many times and that everywhere he goes, most people suspect he is cheating.

Another floating log in the cesspool that is horse racing.

Lawyerin' 101 F. Lee Bailey-




The difference between slander and libel is that libel is the written or otherwise published, public defamation of a person or entity such as an organization or company, while slander is the spoken false defamation of a person or entity. Slander can also include bodily gestures while libel can include published photographs. Defamation is any wrongful injury to the reputation of a person or entity.

Sounds like a mission for the racing vigilante/crusader.
