Steve,
I believe your comment is more refective of "one of the sad, harsh realities of the sport". Some owners can be great and have a very deferential style with the trainer of their horse. Unfortunately, and you obviously know this better than I, many think they know better, change trainers on a whim, and lose site of the horse itself as they become mesmerized by their own delusions and perceived needs. It is the aspect of the sport that is the most discouraging.
I appreciate your honesty about this. It is refreshing.

Gave it his all every time, which was more often than not. Sad to see the untimely death of 'The running heart'.

I really liked this horse and was not going to bring it up but since there has been discussion now on his cause of injury I will ask: What was the track condition that morning?
