The "same individuals" saddle an expotential amount of mounts, with horses stabled around the country - relative to the others. It's not a matter of right or wrong, it is WRONG. Period.
Last year he saddled over 1500 mounts and had zero positives to my knowledge. Is he responsible? Absolutely. If a horse ships in from the SPA training track to AQU and tests positive, even if he personally hasn't seen the horse until race day, he is held accountable. It is his responsibility to take action with his staff to prevent it from happening again, but He ultimately pays the price. Which is fair and right.
I take issue with the fact that there are a couple of trainers that get away with murder because they "never learn"and "Get away with it" . I doubt they personally had anything at all to do with it, frankly. And more to the point, what kind of a trainer would purposely risk a very potential breakdown by knowingly violating the rules regarding lido/bute? Do you honestly believe any trainer would be in business tomorrow if that were the case? Would you give your horse to someone with that rep? I doubt it.
