First of all, raise your hand if you know Lake is a cheater. Oracle defends Dutrow to the end of the universe and back. Well here is someone saying maybe Lake is doing roughly the same amount of suspect things.

Secondly, horses who get claimed don't always finish first or second. However, when they do it is normally because good horsemen have looked at the sheets and determined the horse is worth taking at today's level.

I wish there were more trainers like Lake and Dutrow. Horsemen/women who can spot a mismanaged/poorly trained horse they can improve. Then, they go and do it. Give the claiming owners hope. The rich folks will always breed great horses and have no reason to stop. But the small guy lives and dies with the trainers who are always under suspicion.
