Good horses with bad trainers...

[cpo]

After the win of Easy Terms today it is likely she is going to go up to a rating of around 100. She was probably value for a little more than the winning margin as she was stuck behind horses at one point in the home straight. Now I am not saying Rod Millman is a bad trainer but what the hell must he have been doing with this horse? He had her for 12 races and could not win a race with her and now she has switched yards and has won 6 races from 8 and has gone from a rating of 60 to almost 100. I know horses get better with age and there are other factors that could have brought about the improvement but it just made me think about how many potentially very good horses are out there but are with bad trainers. This is probably a daft subject to start a new thread for but I didn't know where else to ask the question.

Re: Good horses with bad trainers... I was thinking this same question the other day when seeing the performance of Mandaean and Flag Officer at York. How can you ruin horses so quickly?
