I understand what you're saying, but I can't totally agree with you. Dutrow's record of fines and suspensions was almost unheard of, it's amazing he didn't get kicked out sooner. Since Jacobson came back to training, he does not have an alarming amount of infractions. As for someone like Navarro, Jacobson's horses do not miraculously improve over night like that. In fact, he immediately drops many of his horses right off the claim, or two starts off the claim, so many of his wins are with horses that he did not actually improve, he just dropped them down.
