New trainer in town
I dont know how well the rest of you know Cody Autry but be aware, he gets results.Noticed he has a baby in the 1st today at CD. He has had great success at LS and LaD. If this is a signal to a move for him to step up his game or just putting a nice 2yr old in the fast company. I f he is bringing a string of horses watch him. One of his strong points is astute claiming of horses and improving them. Just a alert to all if he is going to try here at CD.

Autrey just scored at 11-1 at CD first off the claim with a horse that didn't figure.

Ronnie Werner ventured to CD from LS a few years ago. He had a deep pockets owner[Tom Durant] with a few real classyor stakes quality horses. He did well but Durant wanted his stock in Texas or convient to him. He lost Werner but Werner has done well with the small number of clients he has attracted. Autry dosent have any of the high profile Texas owners but I think the locals will take note of his expertese with the ponies, I not sure but I think Auutry served some time with some west coast trainers. This was his 2nd starter at CD. His 1st ran about 4th I think. If he has access to a few bucks he will make some good claims and move them up and make money for the owners. Get on him early with your betting. He should lose his edge as far as good odds soon.

Cody is an alright horseman...he spots his horses well...
He is in his low 20s and is a young, wheel-and-dealing type of trainer....he's always trying to claim horses and privately purchase horses and stays active to grow his business... Realistically, he won't have a ton of success at a place like CD with the stock he has right now, but he is definately a trainer with a future... He has been school by some good horsemen, including working for Mandella on the west coast for a while...

I had a horse with Cody this past Oaklawn and Lone Star meet. I found him through a friend of mine, another horse owner, who was already claiming horses with him. I heard very good things about him from people I know well and trust so I gave the green light.
As said, he is young but he is an emerging up and comer. He shoots very good, places his horses very well and is an extremely hard worker. He came up under Bubba Cascio and just works. Cody points toward to the Lone Star meet and this year the hard work and prep work paid off. He got out of the gate with unheard of #'s. A quarter way through the meet he was shooting 50% plus and was the leading trainer. Midway through the meet he was still incredible, something like 40% plus and was still on top in the standings. Keep an eye on this guy. Eric

Couldnt warm Bobby Dibona up.
He is a real nice kid though with a great future. He does a lot of vet work. I have him on a short list of guys I wont buy from privately. Thats good if hes your trainer, bad if you are buying from him. Wish him the best, hes worked hard

Cody is also getting some more power behind him now. I am not sure if these are people who will also point, aim, etc. toward Lone Star or something of the like. Eric

I didnt say the vet does all his work, I said his program does a lot of vet work. Probably whomever you used prior to Cody was marking up your bills and charging you a premium. You do realize most trainers are crooks. Lucky for you, you have found an honest kid in the business who wants to do well and works hard.
Cody's outfit does a ton of work on horses, private buys from him are almost as bad as Calhoun, which are terrible.

Im sure you know first hand how crazy the bills can get with the bad guys. I never meant to knock Cody at all, infact he kept a horse for me that was in transit for FREE. I bought a horse in LA, and the horse was going to Meadowlands, he kept the horse for no fee and took very good care of her. I think hes a very sharp young trainer, and I know hes a very nice guy. He also gets a lot out of his horses which is usually very expensive. Guys in the game know how to cut corners, if you can do some of your own "stuff" you can save some money. Not only for the trainer, but for the owners. Cody gets everything he can out of his horses, if he does it at minimal cost thats even better. I still would never buy a horse from him privately. Nor would I be jumping at the claim box to snatch one of his up. Sky is the limit for Mr. Autrey, if he remains humble, and retains that work ethic, hell be fantastic.

I know you weren't knocking Cody. Sorry if I inferred you were. Like I said, I hear you and I agree. Yeah, I wouldn't be looking to claim or buy from him either; even if I didn't have a horse with him. There are enough "other" trainers out there to pick on, LOL.
One thing I have heard about him is his work ethic. People have told me with him it's all work and he is very focused and intense about it. Hell, he's young -- he can be that way, LOL. Eric

He reminds me of Ronnie Werner a few years ago. The big differance is Ronnie had Tom Durant as his chief owner. I hope he gets the attention of some of the big outfits and they put a few nice ones with him.
