Driver vs. Trainer: Who is more important?

Discuss...

I'd venture to say it's the driver. The Trainer does all s/he can to get the horse ready, but the Driver's on-track decisions will have a major impact on the result.

I'll the trainer. Trainer spends most of time with the horse. Makes him what he is. If the driver drives poorly. Get a new driver. Both obviously important.ย 

Damn, something being discussed here? Everyone slooooooooooooooooow down. I'm getting dizzy.ย

It went to my head. This is where posts go to die. Nice try Lonnie, we needed a place that wasn't Horseplop. Ok, back to sleep everyone. Nothing to see here move along. Barbrady. Out.ย 

Donโ€™t give up Purple! ย I will second you on the trainer. ย Getting these equine athletes to perform at a high level is extremely difficult when the athletes in question do not fully appreciate what the heck it is all about. ย I will also say that the entire staff, not just the trainer, better be fully engaged and proficient at their respective duties.
