i think it's irresponsible to come on here with a 'rumor', concede there is no proof of validity, yet post it anyway. is the desire to be the one who knew something so great that you would risk putting up a thread with no proof--and it turns out to be unfounded?

You want journalistic standards around here?

This is an internet message board - not the New York Post.

Depending on the source on a message board, I have found that message boards are often more reliable and accurate than the mainstream media sources, such as the Post.

That would hold true for this board.

Nah, Larry Jones would be fine. Porter, by all accounts, is 'difficult' (to be kind).

Wouldn't be the first time the owner in question has jettisoned a trainer...

Porter is an angel compared to owners like Michael Gill and is antics. His treatment of Mike Catalano and other trainers, as well as horses, was text book bad.
