I have not known Mr. Ramsey to frequent the barns of any of the trainers that he has used in the past. Any success that Mike Maker has with the Ramsey horses is similar to horses that he runs for other owners. They all win at a high percentage rate.

Mike has a great team of employees and I\'m sure he has access to the best care for both the runners at the track and the lay-ups that need rest. Lets see how he does in Florida with his 2 yr olds after the first of the year. He may have a live one in \"Pressure Point\" and I\'m looking for that one to make an impressive start during the early part of January.

One thing that does not seem to have slowed Maker down is the elimination of steroids in race horses. Many of the better known trainers are seeing their statistics drop since the announcement that steroids would be banned. Evidently the Maker group of runners either do not need steroids or they have found a natural substitute like Reborne which was recently introduced by Halstrum.

Maker is one of the best on the Midwest circuit this year. With no positives to date all of the other trainers are wanting access to the same \"stuff\" he\'s using. Hay, Oats, and water only takes you so far. While he did come up under the wing of D.Wayne Lukas many other top trainers are having a bad year but not Maker.

One thing that many fans do not know is that Maker also did time as an assistant for Jeff Talley prior to his record run this year. Maybe Talley is the key to his success!
