Trainer statistics such as these can be spun a lot of ways. He's also 8-14 for a $3.83 ROI with claiming repeaters according to BRIS (I believe that's from the start of 2007.) I think they're all irrelevant in this situation and I should have omitted my opinion of him on short rest.
Just my opinion, but trainer statistics that matter to me: record with firsters/second timers, layoff types, equipment changes, and stretchouts/cutbacks. otherwise I think you end up clouding your judgement of the actual HORSE who is doing the running.
