I think you are failing to see the major disconnect here. Jamie Sanders is not a great trainer, nor is she in the "elite" company so to speak. She is a rookie trainer on her own, and has some credentials having worked for Nick Zito -- now, there is a great trainer. Jamie Sanders doesn't have people banging down her door, not because she is a woman, but because she is new and unproven. And, so far her #'s -- the #'s people, who know what they are looking at -- are not that good. It is well known and well accpeted that she shoots very low #'s. She has done very well -- financially -- on this one colt, but that doesn't get you the automatic entry into the "great trainer" club or the "elite" company. Check back in another 10 years or so. Buying a horse for $9k and earning $500k, and having the colt be worth a few million doesn't make you a great trainer.
In addition, it is also fairly well known that she often doesn't place her horses well. That is the reputation she is developing on the backstretch. You want to attract owners as a new, rookie, just going on your own trainer -- it's very simple . . . win races!!!
