Hi Brian
If there willing to spend the $$$$ for the right horses i say good luck to them, it just means we have to try harder.

Isnt it amazing how the hardest working trainers also seem to get the best results???
I have watched Mark Purdon and Cran Dalgety in NZ and McCarthy in Aust and they would all inspect the most horses and their attention to detail is amazing. They now also get to pick and choose which horses they take to train.
In my opinion a signifcant numbers of trainers are very lazy. They just expect good horses to land in their lap...

Have a mate who has spent a lot of money and his horses are non competitive and he is no mug.I am not disputing the fact they spend the money get the results but still not sure if it is good for the sport.Originally Posted by mango
Luke McCarthy turns around most horses and not just high value horses. So I don't think that is the major reason for his unbelievable strike rate. A high strike rate is even harder with a high number of horses.
In regards to working harder with more attention to detail. Well this could help but how do you turn around horses wth more attention to detail and by working harder in 1 or 2 weeks to improve by 2 or 3 seconds? The other thing is that his quality of work could not possibly be as high with the volume of horses that he has.
I don't know what he's doing differently but the reasons given above are not plausable silver bullets.
Mannings used to do that to don't know why they have slowed down and does anybody know why team Douglas stopped going to NSW
L McCarthy strike rate is starting to look like C Gleeson, D Aitkin in the good old days were they won the program between them on friday night's at H.P .
