Ok, I understand the argument now. It's based on Johnson's training ability. I still think he put him in good races for most of his career that he belonged in. I dont' think placement was ever much of a problem with him. I see the same things said about Sanders, and I really don't think Teuflesberg's placements have been too bad this year either for the most part.

IF he's bad, he's bad I guess. I dont' study trainer stats too much which is where I am lacking. I guess Drift could have gone to a better trainer with a better chemistry set and won 6.3 million I suppose and 2 more grade 1s I suppose. Whatever....
