Number of horses
I asked this same question a couple of years ago about the so called "Super Trainers" like Dutrow, Contessa (would also apply today), and the answer i received which makes some sense is that these trainers have so much stock that they generally have multiple horses that they can apply to different races in the condition book. So, they generally have choices on which horses that they can drop down in the claiming races whereby the average trainer generally either has one option or zero....
Given the huge amount of stock that these trainers have gives them a big advantage. Say, "Supertrainer" sees a race for 25K claimers in a certain condition they can choose whether to drop down a 30K, 35K or 40K claimer into that particular spot.... Not saying that something else isn't going on, but the math of sheer numbers gives these guys a huge advantage. PSH
