The game allows it so it's all fair. I may not agree with it but the big trainers pushing the limits do have and pass on breeding insights that we probably wouldn't have if they didn't do it.
It's the reason why I have been a passionate supporter of expanding the handicap races - from lobbying Gray to add more lower rated races in both codes to getting hands on with the flat schedule for the handicap races and adding 'in-house' Cup races that the smaller trainers can have a crack at.
Really you're probably all lucky that I just play a stock game - I sit in my own shop that isn't busy and I could easily play a custom breeding game for 5 hours a day, 5 days a week. Imagine if I had been doing that for the last 18 to 24 months - every G1 would probably be mine this season
