If they did - he'd be a training genius.

I really don't understand how Klarman (Klaravich stables) and William Lawrence, who are big-time finance guy who run hedge funds, think their current game plan is effective.

If they sold all of these horses after their debut race - it would be a more effective game plan.

Though, after time, it would be harder to sell them I suppose.

Freddy had one who was pretty fast and could carry it well for a total cheapie - and the horse could barely even train. How does something like that develop over time? The longer you wait - the faster the sounder ones catch up. I realize the Violette/Klaravich's cost 15 to 20 times more money, but I doubt things are a lot more rosy for the durability of those horses.

Exactly. . . they could do the same thing with the type of cheap horses Wesley Ward has (I question his strategy too, though). Either spend less and continue to try to win early (with few readily apparent benefits) or spend the type of money you're spending now and try to produce an actual stakes horse or two. Either way, for the sake of RHT's bankroll, change something.

It's one of racing's great mysteries. Klarman did begin spreading horses to other barns in the last year or so which seems to indicate his frustration with that long-running game plan which produced Read the Footnotes and little else. Hell, he had as much or more success with Sciacca early on in the game on a tighter budget including with Subordination (Hollywood Derby, Eddie Read, Brooklyn, et al).
