Shouldn't the trainer say to the owner, "I'm not using (fill-in-the-blank) on your horses?" In other words, shouldn't the horse's primary caretaker set the standard, or say, "I'm not going to cheat?"

I dont follow the logic. The standard should be set by the owners because they are the ones who ultimately pay the bills and call the shots. The horses are their property. What goes into them is their business and if they choose to look the other way or accept illegal substances being used then they are as responsibile.
