It is interesting that Jackson sell some horses under his name but sells others incognito.

I agree with you about Jackson selling horses under more than one name. That to me is an itegrity problem. Also, when you have a guy who is going to be a commercial breeder, but culls the crop every year in order to retain horses to race, that is something that the marketplace will know, and should, and will react to.
However, as everyone already knows, each one of Jackson's suits involves bloodstock transactions, alleged fraud, etc. Having his horses with Steve Assmusen may in some people's opinion speak about Jackson's ethics, morals, integrity, etc. -- but that in my mind is far different than the Barry Irwin situation. I understand the levels were far different, and you are right about that point.
Barry speaking out of both sides of his mouth is one thing. Campbell, while I don't know him personally, doesn't have to sue someone in order to have his opinion scrutinized. Good points.
