So why not chase down the strike rate of the best trainers in the country?
Anderson has trained 27 winners from 97 starts this season, along with 28 placings, giving him a UDR of 0.4287.
That places him third in the country for trainers who have had more than 50 starters, behind the All Stars Stables team of Mark Purdon and Natalie Rasmussen (0.4496) and The Orange Agent's trainer, Brian Hughes (0.4444).
''In a way we're trying to get to that Purdon strike rate, but we're just running out of horses, to be fair,'' Anderson said.
''I just can't get there - doesn't matter what I do.''
But a look at the bare facts doesn't give Anderson too much to be disappointed about.
He is just two wins off his personal best as a solo trainer - 29 wins, set last season - and, unlike in other seasons, not all his horses have reached their marks.
''I would like to think that, put in the right races, they've got chances [of winning in the new season],'' he said.
''There are a few ones that have been touted to be sold - there have been a few inquiries - which is nice, or we will have about six in the same race.''
Anderson was perhaps not expecting the strong results at the start of the season, as the cupboard was looking slightly empty.
''Someone says ''what have you got'' and I say ''nothing''.
But Match Point came along and Onedin Mach came along.
Titan Banner was a maiden at the start of the year and won five.
Starsky's Dream won five and Match Point won four - it just escalates when you get those multiple winners.
Starsky's Dream has been winning deep into the winter, scoring in a 1.57.4 mile rate at Addington on Friday night to take his record to nine wins from 25 starts.
''He's really matured up mentally in the last eight weeks,'' he said.
''With going to the races and back, it's really made him. He's thriving on it.''
Anderson is likely to be left with Highview Illusion (Forbury Park on Friday) and Onedin Mach (Addington tomorrow) as his racing team until the end of the season, as others enjoy a break or begin their progression back to the track.
Two pacers who have just returned are Titan Banner and Belkmyster.
''They both came in on July 1, so they'll start doing a bit of fast work early August,'' he said.
Belkmyster's Rangiora Classic win in April should give him the inside running to a New Zealand Cup spot, although Anderson has chosen a group 2 feature as the main focus.
''The long-term goal will be the Kaikoura Cup for him and then the New Zealand Cup,'' he said.
''You've got to make the Kaikoura Cup your main goal because you're not going to strike those smart ones who are waiting for the New Zealand Cup.
''But a lot can happen in the meantime. He's looking great - he's like a retired jockey: he hasn't gotten any taller, but he's got wider.''
