Expect massive underperformance when they turn 3.

It's a good thing, because he's been dreadful everywhere else this spring. His horses have become an auto-toss.

Give the guy credit he saw an opportunity to win races with forward stock and he jumped on it. I think its ballz and brilliant..Anyone mocking him is jealous they didnt think of it first.

Go ahead and check out his stats the last month and see how many odds-on favorites he's had lose.

2011 Thoroughbred Racing Summary:


Starts Firsts Seconds Thirds Earnings Rank
180 40 24 19 $ 1,302,751 27/5,670


If this passes for an auto toss I would have to say you have some very high standards.

Do you auto-toss Todd Pletcher, Steve Asmussen, Mike Trombetta, Bruce Levine, Graham Motion or Steve Klesaris trained horses?

Ward's win % and/or ROI is higher than every one of those guys with 3YOs and up the last 5 years.

For phucks sake, I make a point about Ward's horses in the last month underperforming and it immediately turns into a discussion about Ward as a trainer. I didn't ask for his goddamn numbers at Keeneland or his 2011 numbers. Check our his numbers since Keeneland ended and then tell me he's not an auto-toss right now.

I wasn't referring to your post. I am aware of Ward's numbers in the last month, specifically with favorites (3-22, $0.56 ROI).

Why would anyone automatically toss any horse? Makes absolutely no sense to me.
