Pedigree ignored in placement

[Danzig]

reminds me of the adage, what do you call the guy who graduated last in his class in med school?
doctor.

not all trainers are good ones, obviously. and like some coaches, some trainers try to get their horse to fit their style, rather than working with the horses style. so, you get horses like the one named in the initial post. might be a good candidate for a claim.
