Going into the final weekend of the Pimlico Spring Meet, trainer Mark Shuman is tied atop the trainer standings with Scott Lake for number of wins (13). Shuman's 13 wins were achieved with only 33 starts, while it took Scott Lake 81 tries. Shuman also has more earnings, but tops Lake by just over $6,000. The most impressive stat on Shuman's line is "in the money". Shuman is in the money an impressive 76% of the time at Pimlico, and overall for 2007 60%. He either has an incredible barn, or puts his horses in the "right" races. Either way, kudos to Mark Shuman. I know that Shuman made a name for himself as the private trainer for the controversial stable of Mike Gill, but that does not make him a bad guy. I will be rooting for Shuman this weekend, Scott Lake does not need anymore awards!
