The horse died ... and atleast one owner (Maggie Moss) reached in to claim the horse for 25K.

Those are the types Gill will claim now ... except think 4K-to-10K instead of 25K. Some turn it around - some don't - and some go down.

I doubt the fate of the majority of those horses would have been any different if they raced under small-fry connections.

Gill claims tough pro race horses...Horses that have started 20 plus times and had successful careers.. He claims anything that he thinks drugs will move up slightly and earn a few bucks with.. In a way he is smart.. claims for 5k drops to 4k adds drugs and looks to win a 7200 pay day.. jacobsen does the same crap but I havent seen many of his breakdown. I am all for racing horses when they are ok but you have to admit Gill is cheating and doing it unsafely
