Yes -- it's the program or system that wins.
Dutrow Jr. doesn't even need to bother to show up.
There was a former Scott Lake asst trainer who went out on his own and was based at Philly Park from 2000 through 2005. Here were his stats with sprinters:
2000: 3-for-5 (60%) $6.20 ROI
2001: 10-for-35 (29%) $2.41 ROI
2002: 32-for-103 (31%) $3.89 ROI
2003: 36-for-163 (22%) $2.27 ROI
2004: 36-for-184 (20%) $2.33 ROI
2005: 45-for-195 (23%) $3.03 ROI
'00 to '05: 162-for-685 (24%) $2.78 ROI
He told me "listen, jerk. I can be on my computer for 23 hours a day and still win at 20%"
He wasn't getting it done because he was some shrewd horseman or brilliant handicapper ... he was getting it done like that because he was Scott Lake's program without the brand name of a Scott Lake.
