Maker shows a 28% profit on the betting dollar in all turf route races this decade.
From 885 starters in route races this decade - he shows a 21.2% profit on the betting dollar.
From almost 1,100 career starts in turf routes .. McLaughlin shows a 14.5% profit on the betting dollar.
McLaughlin has real magic to him ... he almost won the Kentucky Derby with Closing Argument .. a horse who was the 20th choice in the betting .. even a bigger price than a sprinting rabbit only entered to ruin Bellamy Road.. and CA ran spectacularly well considering the pace of the race. He was just 2 lengths off of that 22.28 first quarter mile .. and the 1st, 3rd, and 4th place horses all rallied.
He managed to win a horse of the year with Invasor ... a horse from Uruguay who got utterly pummled by Discreet Cat in the UAE Derby.
He won a Breeders Cup F and M Turf with Lahudood .. a filly who went 1-for-7 in Europe and was beaten by Wingspan in an N1X alw on the grass at 10fs - four months later she won the Breeders Cup.
Intidab was beaten 11 consecutive times in Dubai when McLaughlin got him .. was beaten a pole in his first American start at huge odds. 3 months later he beats Artax in a Graded Stake at Saratoga with a 120 Beyer figure.
Just because the guy isn't getting claiming horses doesn't mean he's supposed to have magic numbers and get wild form reversals.
