Great last point TC,
A Trainer can't see every horse all day every day especially if a trainer is a trainer/driver (Lance) too...
How logically can that person watch what is happening with his horse while getting changed etc!!!
Illogical thinking in my opinion, get the culprit of an offence don't just pass the buck, that's weak I reckon.
So if a rugby/footy player king hits another player, under these rules the Captain or Coach who didn't do it, and the tribunal agrees there is no evidence to prove the Captain or Coach did do it, that person gets charged fined reprimanded suspended not the hitter!
Illogical
Not common sense
