Should the owner of the Jeremy Rose horse be accountable for his actions? How about the trainer?
if you hire someone with a huge, long rapsheet, just how innocent can you proclaim yourself to be? there are trainers out there who don't have a list of charger longer than my arm; by the same token you have trainers who are dirtier than The Indomitables Drugs' favorite sock. so, if you hire one of these socks, you can't really complain when some of the funk rubs off on you, can you?
