>You said \"by using what\". What are you inferring?<

Obviously I believe that some claiming trainers are using drugs and other illegal measures to gain an advantage, while others may just be great trainers. It\'s hard to be certain all the time. IMO it\'s easier to tell among claiming trainers because the horses change hands so often. You can see older deteriorating horses improve sharply almost overnight and vice versa as they change hands.  

When I see horses develop slowly over time, fewer breakdowns early in their career, horses spotted where they belong etc... I am much more apt to believe it\'s good horsemanship. That\'s why I tend to like Shug, Mott etc...
