wow, romero is a total class act -- at least here. i don't know him, but that's all class right there.

LOL!!! Ok I get it now!!
I hadn't read any article on this, I was just told by someone that Jara had dumped Randy.
I completely get it now.
Gatewood Bell is the son of Jimmy Bell, the big honcho with the Sheikh's operation.
Yeah, I get it now, lol!!

Gatewood Bell is the son of Jimmy Bell, President of Darley USA.

Figures.

First of all, day to day, Jara is less than a good jockey. He has gotten lucky because of his relationship with Kiaran. He is the absolute proof that it is horses, and not riders, that win races. He has shown unequivicably that a good horse can overcome a lot.

I don't know who is taking his book, though I am sure there is a lot more than meets the eye, and all this speculation is VERY likely missing the real story.

We just got the real story, Jimmy Bell's kid is taking his book.
I think thats pretty self explanatory.

OK, if you think that's the real story, that's great.

If you are saying that perhaps it isn't, then I believe you.

What is that saying...there are 3 sides to the story--your side, their side and the truth.

I'm in Saratoga, NY not NYC. I talk to folks down there a lot, but I ain't there.
BTW is there, therefore I would think he would have a better pipeline on whats shaking with this.
If he says perhaps we dont have the story, then I would wager heavily that we don't.
A lot of what goes down at the racetrack, most of it as a matter of fact, is never printed.

BTW is correct. gatewood was actually hustling and doing a lot of the work from midsummer on under Randy for Jara; i.e. getting him good mounts in barns outside of Kiarans w/ Mott, Tom Bush, etc.....Prior to that his only real consistent good mounts were with Kiaran, who looked out for him.

remember the line from the godfather...it's business, not personal.
randy has been thru a lot for sure, but it's business. he knows that as well as anyone. jara will one day learn that lesson as well.
it's not always guys in black hats and guys with white hats. lots of shades of grey hats as well.

Wrong....it's not a good guy/bad guy story.

Anyway, this is horseracing, no good guys and plenty of bad guys!

I'm not normally one for conjecture, but has there ever been an article that should have had one of those smiley faces with a winking eye attached to it? It would have been a nice little touch for this one.
