I would be shocked if any of the three didnt walk over and acknowledge you personally.

As for the trainers, which trainers do you want to speak with? Cannon comes in here and expresses himself, any trainer prior to a race is over on the front side. They dont sneak out of a dugout, they dont drive up in a limo. Most of them are in normal cars parked with everyone else. At Churchill you can walk up and speak to them whenever you want.

As for a jocks agents who really cares about a jocks agent? I would think you would want to avoid them more than you would want to speak with them.

Most of the guys in this sport are very gracious, down to earth, and easily accessible to the public
If you see a jocks agent coming you wanna cross the street as soon as possible.

Thats no joke Oracle, even the trainers want to hide somewhere when they see one of those.

There was a guy up here who used to be the agent for a former eclipse winning jock. People would scatter and run when they saw him coming, for real.

Hooves,
I am NOT an insider. And if you read my posts you will see that I never claim to be one. Show me one post where I claim to be one will you?

And by the way, th ebest "inside info" comes from exceptional clockers, not trainers or jocks or agents, etc.
The reason for this being that trainers only know how their own horse is doing, not everyone elses.
When a trainer or owner tells me to bet his horse, I say ok, but rarely will do so based on that.
There is like one guy alive who can tell me to bet someone that i will automatically include, and since hes up every morning at 4:30 watching horses go every morning, all morning, and hall of famers call HIM to ask him how he thinks THEIR horses are doing, I respect the hell out of him.
I don't post "inside info" on here, but will be very happy to IM with someone off the board in a private conversation about what I have HEARD. I never take credit for this info, and always say "my clocker told me", because lets face it, what the hell do I know about how 1sters are working at Belmont up here in saratoga?
Scav made out ok with something I was told today.

I talked to Perez Hilton and he said a big story on Rene and Nicole Richie is hitting the wire in a few hours. Something about Rene getting out of Nicole's SUV in South Beach and he was snapped wearing no underwear.
