I do like about him that he seems to take care of his horses better than alot of other trainers.

Yes, he is very conscientious. He is probably in the top 5% when it comes to that. He is very quick to turn horses out to the farm if they develop a problem.

Some of these guys will just keep running them no matter what. They will run them until the horse is so lame that they have no choice but to turn them out. It's usually too late by then. At that point, permanent damage has been done and the horse will never come back the same.
