I don't really care what his supposed record is. He gets form reversals on horses at all class levels that make him look shady to me. Because the reversals come with horses he's had all along - it doesn't get the same reaction that it would if the reversals came 1st off a claim or with a 1st time trainer switch.
An overage is overage. It's like when you are driving on the highway and you try to drive as fast as you can without driving fast enough to get picked up.
In some places the cops tend to let you can get away with more than others. In some situations you can have a guy pass you going 100 mph and you speed up 10 mph because you know if they get anyone - it will be the other guy first.
However, you're playing with fire...and sooner or late you'll get caught. It may take many years - but it will happen.
To me - the overage isn't a big deal - my opinion has already been formed by seeing enough of the guys horses.
The big deal here (at least to me anyway) is you have an owner who wants to make this out to be a case of sabotage!
