Didn't the doctors who dumped Ice cite "communication" problems as the reason or something like that? I understand there were some other personal issues, too.

Default Tim Ice
Steve,

What's the deal with this guy? He seemed like a good young trainer that we, as fans, could all get behind and now these stories come up.

Tim Ice probably has his hands full with John Ed Anthony, who can supply him with quality horses annually if Ice can stay in his good graces.

Hutt seemed to want Ice to train the string more or less without being paid. Tim politefully declined.

As you may note, only 1 horse went to McLaughlin... the stable star. The entire string was being negotiated to go to Ice... Maybe 14 horses? But as it turns out, the rest were left with the former Seewald assistant that Hutt can undoubtedly manipulate.

In New York, the day rate probably ranges from about $80 to $125. At a track like Finger Lakes, the day rate is about $50.

Maybe he was telling them something that they didn't want to hear. Like, the horse isn't as good as the owners thing he is.
