It sounds from the article as if the horse was running fine outside of horses and was then taken back and asked to re-rally. I'll have to see if I can find a replay to be sure. Sure jocks mess up and sometimes it's not easy to convince a 1/2 ton horse that wants to do something that the trainer advises against it.
That said, had the inquiry not been made by the agent the next day, Glenney probably would have been annoyed by the ride but would not have thought to call a steward.
Glenney is KY now so it's not like the Cali jocks are worried about him calling them. As an aside, I'm curious as to how many jock agents/track announcers are also serving as middlemen is horse sales? Is it common?
