I never had honesty issues with my 2 trainers I was involved with.

My first trainer was the late Lynn Proesel RIP At Pompano Park (RIP) in the mid 2000's.  She trained my 1st horse, a $4000-claimer named Allamerican Fancy.  Lynn gave my girlfriend and I a chance to learn the game from the bottom up.  Lost a lot of money, but immensely enjoyed the experience.  FYI, Lynn also trained a world champion--Embers Scooter a dual gaited mare who paced and trotted and was the fastest combined time for about a year.

My 2nd/current trainers are the Connor's, Chuck and Janice.  I have been with them since 2011.  My relationship is not just business.  I get a chance to have dinner with them on occasion, as well as other social events.  I also had a chance to spend the weekend with them at Saratoga for a weekend during the Saratoga thoroughbred meet with them at Saratoga t-breds.

I also had a chance to ride with Chuck on road trips with my horses racing at Vernon Downs 1 night and The Meadowlands the next night!

How many trainers would do this with an owner?

I know exactly what I was getting into when I got into this business 20 years ago. 

I raced my horses against very unscrupulous trainers at Pocono 15 years ago.  Still no regrets!  Just more satisfying when you beat them in a race!

Honest Trainers.
Isn't that an oxymoron like jumbo shrimp?

[simplify]

Long retired but Michigan (stunning) had an outstanding trainer with trotters Henry Wilson.

My point exactly.....Pat Lachance, good guy. No, he's shady, he was hooked up with this guy, etc. Kelvin Harrison, good guy. No, he's a drug trainer, multiple violations for this and that.

Everyone is going to have a perception, perspective, and opinion.

Just look at any track the bottom 20 guys are the clean or honest ones . They also lose all the time

Most honest trainer I ever knew and I have been around 45 years now.  Dave McCaffery

My belief is the top cheats eliminated honest trainers. Some will use less harmful stuff & less often to win. Everyone has to eat. JMHO

And if that's the answer, then there is the mental dilemma owners face.

Then you get owners----who you are legitimate, upstanding, professionals, business owners, etc.----like George Segal, Marty Granoff, Ted Gewertz, Jack Rollins, Peter Heffering, Tom D'Altrui, Mickey Chasanoff, Arlene Traub, Seth Rosenfeld, and numerous others. They've given horses to Steve Elliott, Joe Holloway, Brett Pelling, Linda Toscano, Robert McIntosh, Jim Campbell, Tom Artandi, Bill Robinson, and others. I would suspect most people would have a problem with Bill Robinson. Many perhaps with Steve Elliott and Brett Pelling. Some possibly with Joe Holloway. Where do you draw the line, and who judges where the line is?

Hey dipshit, it says “honest trainers” not “drug free” trainers because there is not such thing as a completely drug free trainer   But an honest trainer when it pertains to his owners is Harrison.
