I understand that some people don't think it's ethical to drop horses, or whatever, but my main concern regarding trainers is whether or not they are following the rules. There are trainers who use illegal substances on their horses, those are the ones that bother me. I don't believe that Jacobson fits this profile.
As for Buddy Jacobson, he was despised by the people who ran NY racing because he tried to unionize the backstretch workers, who were severely underpaid and had no benefits. He sold a horse in Maryland and they said that it was an illegal sale so NY racing banned him for 5 years, which was insane. Then, of course, he was convicted of murder. So there was reason to suspect that NY racing officials were biased against Buddy's son. I also think that racial prejudice may have come into play.
