Be careful throwing too many arrows at the larger, successful stables that are cultivating owners, increasing the amount of dollars spent and the overall commerce in the sport. That trickles down to the breeders, the racetrack owners and others.”

They work long hard hours, good, so do a lot of the people that post here. This will not earn any extra credit from me.
When you are on top of the game, the "arrows" are going to be thrown. Deal with it. The best way would be to prove what you are doing is on the up and up. Do not give the arrow throwers ammunition by not addressing issues that arise. If it is a drug issue, put out in the public all the treatments that are administered to that horse. The non-transparency is just more ammunition.
And the one thing that is not mentioned, is that do the super-trainers really benifit the people who drive the industry, your customers?
