How can this guy stay in business?

[jballscalls]

He has a couple horses that could win but the problem is he likes to enter them way over there head and often out of condition. He ran a bunch of horses at River this summer and instead of putting them against bottom maidens or non 2's he would put them on the grass in 25k allowance races. I was told however he is a doctor of some sorts and has dough.

this would make for a good freelance piece
I may try to dig this guy up
pick his brain
I guess he contradicts the Tom Petty song:
"even the losers, get lucky some time"

I really don't know...

I google'd him and there is someone by the same name who owes almost $200k in taxes.

marty mcgee wrote a blib about him in the form this past summer and he refused comment. He probably just wants to be left alone.

This guy's just a goof. I've seen him run horrific maidens in stake races in kentucky. He trains his own "stock"...

I'm not sure if I want to go to a doctor who cannot even pick up on the basics of training horses, like if you never win a race you may be spotting the horse incorrectly.

Ironic this guy is a doctor. The worst trainer I'd ever seen before him was a guy in Chicago in the early/mid 90s named William Davis, who was a dentist. He'd maybe go 2 for 100 or 2 for 130 for a year.

Perusing the MNR PP's the other evening I saw a jockey that was 0-184 on the year, riding for a trainer that was 0-80something on the year.

That's hard to do.

At least this Nauf guy races in NY which has a higher level of competition.

When you have that kind of record at Mountaineer? You really need to consider some career alternatives.

I don't think I've ever seen a Rauf horse race in NY. He runs mostly in Kentucky and at River Downs.

Is that right? Who am I thinking of in NY then, someone with a similar futile record? Maybe I'm just confused which has been known to happen on occaison.

Figured out who the jockey might be, Alfredo Hernandez. Tonight he is listed as 1-170 on the year. Doug Williams and Billy Wilson are two others that race there and almost never win.

Check this link. I Googled this guys name and this Rauf guy is deliquent on his taxes for almost $200,000. I wonder if its the same guy as the trainer mentioned here. I dont think there will be more than one person in LEXINGTON, KY named Naseem Rauf. Who Knows?

He should have dropped those horses down to the level where they could win.

That's the guy, Billy Wilson.
