Many little guys who won a LOT more often than Pete Vestal have struggled to survive or gone under. Nothing personal but Vestal didn't exactly light it up.

I didn't know he was still training.
What stuck out in the sob story for me is him admitting not hustling for business. That's what cost him his job. Blaming the large stables is a cop-out and a cheap shot.

In this case it's hard not to agree with you. It's a competitive business and you get no sense from that article that he was interested in moving with the times.

What worked for him 5 or 10 or 20 years ago doesn't confer license for continued success. It's unfortunate, but not a shame. He either wasn't good enough or didn't work hard enough. And what does a trainer with four horses need an assistant trainer for?
