You're not making a lot of sense here, Pat.
A competent trainer is one who pays a great deal of care in placing his horses and finding the best spots possible. To do this, you need to worry a lot about who is going where.
If I had an older alw quality horse nominated - and I was interested in taking a shot in a 300K handicap that might only draw three or four other horses - sure, I'd be calling every jockey agent, every turf writer I can think of asking about Flat Out or any other similar contender.
If every trainer was so affraid of running against Flat Out because he was supposedly working so good - why didn't all of these trainer and clockers bother to bet him?
When I was winning those fantasy contests, once a week I would call up trainers and ask them what spots they were considering for a certain specific horse. You can't even manage a friggen fantasy stable properly without knowing who is going where and how tough it might be to finish 3rd.
