A Good Trainer. A Definition.

Simple!

Placing your horse where it has the best chance of winning!

If it runs second, it lost the race!

Contrary opinions are more than welcome

Contrary opinion: I'd rather run in a $1M race that I think I can run 2nd or 3rd in than a $50K race I think I can win.

Seconded.

[Gwayne's World]

From my own perspective, I've never cared about money (maybe I should have been more frugal on occasion)

Especially if the money isn't real!

No glory in running 5th in Grade One races!

Just ask me

[Nini Panini]

Disagree. I'd rather have my horses run in a prestigious race where I believe they can do well than in a lower tier race. Of course, every case is different. But to each their own!

[Mr. Lord Rich]

I think there has to be a fine balance between both.
Have to know when to hold em, know when to fold em.

Your poker analogy is likely the "CORRECT" answer?

Go to the front of the line, where the Steward will award you with 500,000 Game Points!

Just kidding!!!

If your horse never loses, you aren't testing it enough. Think of those over-rated goats like Pepper's Pride or Zenyatta who racked up pretty records beating up nothing because their connections were cowards. Contrast them with true champions like Rachel Alexandra who took on the elite girls of her age, smashed them, took on the elite boys of her age, smashed them, took on the elite older horses, smashed them...

If your horse never wins, you're asking too much of it. "Keep yourself in the best company and your horses in the worst".

If your horse retires without having had a couple of poor runs to finish off its career, you retired it too soon. They're RACEhorses, so run them until the wheels fall off.

Contrary opinions not welcome; I'm right.

[Lucas Davenport]

We could not disagree more.

Think of a GOAT like Zenyatta who racked up a pretty record beating up nothing because all the other worthy competition were cowards.

Fixed it for you

You're probably correct Mike?

As far as you know!

I really hope you're not serious about that part because thats just kind of childish if it is serious.

Another thing to add:

It's a good thing this is a game that allows every player to play to their own style! There are technically no right or wrong ways to play. Sure, some methods might be more ineffective than others to some people... but hey, that's what makes it great!

[Mr. Lord Rich]

Did it really take us until 24 hours before festivus to get a thread going like this?
