I agree totally with everything you said. I've never had more than a handshake with any trainer. That's the kind of business it is. Is that good ? I'm not sure, but that is the way it is. For the most part it works out.

When a purse gets grabbed, the 10% trainer and 10% jockey also get nabbed. Ouch.

As I said, it's trust. A look in the eye and a handshake. I used to use my own jockeys. I trusted them. I used Steve Capanas for years. He won the Eclipse Award for Apprentice in like 1989. He was a journeyman, but would always give 100% on my horses. Carmouche too. I always knew both of them were riding for me. I wanted guys riding for me.
