Nothing gets past you.

I don't know that you're being fair. The game is littered with bad trainers that have trained great horses. I would say a trainer's competence isn't measured well by the best horse he or she ever trained. In fact, it might be better measured by some of the worst horses they trained....certainly the lesser ones.
