Why is it any different than Cot Campbell having horses with Todd Pletcher? What about Barry Irwin having horses with Todd Pletcher? The only difference I see is that Barry Irwin constantly speaks his mind about drugs/medications issues, rules, reform, etc., and that's perfectly fine. Eveyrone is entitled to their opinion, and I for one read Barry Irwin's opinion whenever he publishes it. I don't like all the name calling and insulting commentary that he partakes in, but he's a big boy and he can do whatever he wants.

Jess Jackson on the other hand seems motivated, as you say, to clean up the bloodstock industry as it relates to agents, fraud, and the like. Cot Campbell chaired an industry task force on these issues as well.
