Hate to bring this back up but last night at Yonkers, there was a horse in the 11th race named Bella Ragaza. The horse is trained by Jen and has been for several months. The horse won two in a row several weeks ago driven by Joe. I just happened to notice under the spotter's comments, he said "well trained", talk about publicity. I have never in all my years in this business heard a partisan comment like that before. Wonder what that cost.

So, do you think the horse was well trained by Jen?
yes they won in both starts
The comment well trained is a generic one. The chart caller uses these terms that he has on a list. He is not just making them up as he goes.
NOBODY AXED U
Thanks for clarifying that for me. I just don't think that Jen has in reality ever turned a horse on the track. I don't think she is a trainer just like the Bongiorno that handles the winners at Meadowlands is not a horse-person. That one is going to get an animal or a person hurt as she bails if a horse sneezes. So, my point is I don't really care where it came from, the term does not fit in this particular instance.
MY MAN GELROD NEVER TURNED A HORSE ON THE TRACK, AND NOBODYDID BETTER THAN HIM, RIGHT FROM THE SIDELINES
