If anything, and I imagine this had something to do with the decision to move his horses, Jerkens is very conservative. I imagine after years with Mark Hennig Evans is in search of more instant (or any) gratification.

Maybe the "thrown to the wolves" comment was a slight exaggeration, but the fact remains that something has obviously gone wrong with the horse.
