Sounds like someone was in the young man's ear. Probably something like (obviously my own guess/take), "Vic has taken you as far as he could and I could bring up to that next level".
I also do think coming east is part of the equation, if not now then in the near future and Ebanks probably mentioned that Vic has no desire to come east and probably doesn't have the connections that he would (like I said just a guess on my part).
Reguardless, it's a tough blow for Vic and I feel bad for him. But like someone said, it's buisness and unfortunately sometimes a cruel buisness.

Vic was proud Rosario never left Ca. Vic told the free world he would never come east. Apparently, that isn't the way to grow your resume as a world class jock. "Hi, my name is Joel Rosario and I only race in a state were TB racing is in serious decline and I am berry berry happy?" You do the math, Math.

Ya think? Well, in my opinion(after watching these midget activities for almost 30 years) this was predictable. For a lot of reasons, I think a top jock needs "his own" jock agent. I thought it was a bad move for Vic to pick the 2nd jock up. Obviously, we have opposing opinions on it. Remember when Talamo left this same Eubanks guy? I said these guys are better off with their own agents. I'm sure Joel agreed to it, but, in practice, it just doesn't work well. Dude, when your 2nd jock gets about 40k, and your top jock gets almost nothing? It was gunna test your lil experiment. Test over. All the stuff you two did together wasn't enough to counter this lil sht's anger over Marty get 40k, and him getting zip. So, people can tell me it works, but I just don't think the 2 jock thing works very well. The only thing that could of avoided this is not getting another jock to rep. What would you've done if J told you to pick 1? Again, a bad situation.

I agree with this, especially when the other agent is calling him and telling the PO'ed jockey that should have been his horse.
