This petition shows that Jacobson's horses break down at a rate that is lower than the national average. It's misleading and doesn't prove a thing.
My main concern regarding trainers is whether or not they are doing something illegal. Are they using illegal substances to gain an unfair advantage? That is the main question that the industry needs to address regarding trainers. All this other stuff is conjecture.
Some people are trying to suggest that Jacobson doesn't take care of his horses. That can't be because he is one of the most successful trainers in the business, and if you don't feed and take good care of racehorses, they won't win.
I'm not trying to defend this guy. I just don't like unsubstantiated nonsense.

But you ARE defending him, Pandy. In another Jacobson thread here not too long ago, you even defended his FATHER...when you stated that you covered his trial for some newspaper, and were not impressed by the evidence against "Buddy"...because the damaging testimony came from some unsavory characters.
Am I wrong?
