Backyard Trainers Are Probably Never Going to be Leading Trainers at a Track

I don't say that to discourage anyone. Quite the opposite. In the course setting all of this up, I googled around and came across an online comment in which the guy said something along the lines of,"Well, I haven't read her book, but I do live in Tampa, near where she trains, and she does not do very well here..."
Anyone with a bit of backside experience understands the numbers game involved with being a leading trainer. And anyone who read the book knows that sometimes you run a horse in a race for which he is overmatched or not perfectly suited as a work. If you don't care about stats, the experience is good, and you never know. Besides, depending on the state and track, some make it worthwhile just to fill the race.
