If the blame is on anyone - it's on the jockey and or vet.

A GOOD trainer would have given explicit instructions to his jockey that if the horse did not warm up well or didn't seem right to bring it to the vet's attention. This is not the first time this jockey has been on her. He knows how she warms up and he was obviously concerned about her.
