Everyone should be informed that Hugable Tom's owner Michael Ricatto is the individual responsible for urging Jacobson to get back into racing.

(In a nutshell, Jacobson was trying to save the injured Hugable Tom after a knee fracture. Vets told him to put the horse down, but Jacobson disagreed and tried to press on. Laminitis set in and Hugable Tom had to be euthanized. It was then that the state used the opportunity to chase Jacobson, whose legendary father Buddy had been involved in the wild and notorious Melanie Cain love triangle murder case, off the racetrack. It was hardly a case of animal abuse.)
You can defend Jacobsen, but the Tour of the Cat tale, the recent drug violation in Md, and Jacobsen runnung a horse at Penn without the requisite days in jail is closer to the truth than any spin you're trying put on Jacobsen.
Actions speak louder than words.
