I think you're making the schoolboy error of assuming that all racehorse trainers have brains, Maurice.

What's the old saying?

"In a typical wealthy family, all the children go to public school, the brightest are then secured jobs in the City so they can make many millions, the average ones become Tory MPs to create legislation to help the brightest ones make even more money, and the thickest ones go into racing and train the horses owned by the brightest ones."

They are NO geniuses in racing, even Aidan O'Brien and Willie Mullins aren't geniuses, they are simply of above average intelligence and, crucially, less thick than the other trainers.

Accept this fact of life once and for an and you will "get it."
