Personally,I think trainers should not give instructions,because the race never plays out the way they think it will anyway,so why bother.Plus,most jockeys fail to listen anyway,hence this topic.I can understand them telling a jock to not go too hard on an animal,or to save something for the next race,but these guys that say"At this point in the race,I want you here,then here,then here,going no faster than 12 seconds a furlong" is just ridiculous.I think that most trainers or owners give instructions just so they CAN blame the jock when they lose.Owners should just keep their mouths shut and stay in the stands anyway.They hired a trainer,so they should let him do his job.
