The premise is fine. That's a legit concern. A lot of people (who don't like him doing both jobs ) accused him of doing something wrong in that 6th race. I think, if they'd of handicapped the race, they would see this horse had run the fastest. They could see the horse ran 2nd to a horse who is beating winners now. Horse has run 2nd or 3rd in the prior three races at the level. I think most callers would have their eye on that horse. I know I would have. It's a very poor piece of evidence to accuse someone with. Should just say they don't like the guy doing both jobs(instead of wildly fishing like this.)
