David Jacobson
He put on a clinic today at Belmont winning with four horses first time off a claim, that's big time impressive........

The last win with a claim off Jerkens was amazing!!! According to my database the last person to win off the Chief at Belmont was Gary Contessa in 2006.

He is a chip off the block, his dad Howard Buudy Jacobson ruled the N.Y. claiming game in late 50`s and sixty`s.

For my, IMO take on the aftermath, these horses won because of
the new trainer placing them properly for their next out.
Spa City fever was racing against only two others but he had
put in a good race at 75K OC finishing 2nd within 1 L. Far better
than his other competitors.
Yo Blu was said to be moving up in class when, IMO, he was dropping.
He had a good Maiden 50K race where he ran 2nd by 3 L. That was
6 F but he had already won at the distance in his last two races so
that was not a problem.
Sing Dixie Sing was my pick because he had already won at the
distance and class and was dropping back from 50 K OC to his
winning class.
Also Jacobson is enjoying a 23% win ratio for 1st after claims.

Yeah he's a terrific person....
TRAINER IS CHARGED WITH HORSE NEGLECT
By STEVEN CRIST (The New York Times); Sports Desk
October 17, 1981, Saturday
"David Jacobson, a horse trainer based at Aqueduct, has been charged with failing to provide food and medical attention to a thoroughred that had to be destroyed last month. The State Racing and Wagering Board ordered Jacobson yesterday to show cause why his license to train should not be revoked for mistreatment of the horse, Hugable Tom, a 6-year-old gelding who was destroyed Sept. 28. Jacobson is the son of Howard (Buddy) Jacobson, formerly a leading trainer in New York, who is imprisoned for murder. According to a spokesman for the racing board, the mistreatment of Hugable Tom, who had won 11 races at Aqueduct and Belmont in the last two years, first came to the attention of board investigators in August. At Jacobson's hearing, set for Oct. 28, the investigators are expected to testify that Hugable Tom was so neglected that other trainers and backstretch help took it on themselves to give the gelding food and water"

He has checkered past, but you can't let that enter to the decision on whether to bet one of his horses or not.

Agreed and I wasn't. I was making a more personal judgment - what he allegedly did was disgraceful.

Jacobson wins with a lot of dropdowns. As for his past, I did a lot of research on that trial for an article I wrote for Sports Eye. I read the entire transcripts from the trial. I didn't think that NYRA proved their case and it left me wondering if they just didn't like David because they didn't like his father, Howard, who was convicted of murder and was a rabble-rouser who tried to unionize the backstretch workers.
To me, Jacobson doesn't quite fit the juicer profile. Yes he is winning but his horses don't improve sharply. He claims a lot of old geldings, freshens them up and puts them in light, often dropping first or second start off a claim. Jacobson has no positives and his horses seem to hold up well.
R-Rod, on the other hand, worked for Rick Dutrow. And, after R-Rod's recent three positives (for the same drug) he has since gone ice cold, often the tell tale sign that he can't win without using drugs on his horses.

RRRs horses have taken a noticible dropoff, in fact, when i handicap a race he's in, i almost 'instant toss' him.
