I remember Mr. Gill all too well. I competed against him for over 5 years in the mid-Atlantic. Actually, denying Gill stall space didn't matter beacuse he went out and bought a farm with a track and a couple barns, and then he thumbed his nose at track officials. In the end, little guys like me were hurt by the rules some tracks enforced to try to hurt Gill.
Denying stalls didn't do a thing.....
I think anyone that follows the game knows about the well publicized trainers with positives for varying things. But a lot of guys flying under the radar can do the same things the Asmussens, Biancones, etc do. Just because they aren't getting the ink doesn't mean their owners can be any more aware of what they are doing than the big name owners that employ name trainers.
My pure guess is that 90% of owners out there would only have a clue about what their trainer might be doing, if/when their trainer gets caught.
