IMO, he is an excellent horseman that has been in the game close to 50 years.
It seems however that he either doubted his own abilities or wanted to reach higher still by means of the veterinarian.
And while a lot of these “excellent horsemen” leaned on vets, and rightfully so in many circumstances, again IMO, he crossed a line that every trainer knows is there.
And I personally draw that line dozens of occurrences prior to 30 positive tests.
30 !
