IMHO
It is better to have a trainer have four in a race and be up front and on papper about it, then the same horses listed under different trainers, but still controlled by the same head trainer.
Back in the day Langley tried to limit multiple entries from one stable. So Farrington then had multiple entries, but listed under different owner/trainer.

I personally like the Otten sisters, they are attractive, intelligent and easy to work with.
Agree

He's not going to win the Jug or anything, but if he stays healthy he'll be the type to race in the upper ranks at WEG and put $500K on his card.
Ya I could see him make some good $ @ WEG Some of those island horses are as tough as they come.

Put the pipe down Lance, he's fuck all outside that little island.

you guys are right under current circumstances
and yes i recall melander having 6 in a stake race at lexington a few weeks ago
but perhaps a rule or similar one would allow other trainers to get horses
its not great for the overall industry when a few large trainers control a lot of the entries
its also not a great look for the wagering public
not sure what the answer is
The 3yo colt & gelding trot will be an interesting example of genuine trainer conflict as Melander has Apex and Nix Nacken, arguably two of the top 3 or 4 in the field. Apex has possibly the best breeding in the sport right now (Walner/Mission Brief) and has won the Hambo in record time (1:49.2). If he wins the Breeders' Crown, he will be worth in the $15-$25mm range as a stud. If he loses that could be cut by a substantial amount. Nix Nacken is a gelding. Winning the Breeders' Crown will earn him some purse money (less than $400k) and a nice trophy and he will go on (if he stays healthy) to race as an aged trotter for the next few years and his value as a racehorse will not diminish much if he loses. Does Nix Nacken get trained a bit more lightly? Does he not get his shoes pulled? etc. etc. The point you raise is that almost any multiple entries CAN create a conflict of interest from the same trainer, and in this case it seemingly does?

Nice colt, He'll go on and be a nice older race horse as well. It's tough anywhere to win 11 in a row.
