Will somebody please tell me that the jocks can still back out of this. I fear what this can do to the whole industry. If you don't see the potential repercussions this deal could have on everyone involved in horse racing then you need to look at the whole picture.

sure they can bail! nothing is signed yet... well as far as one can know ... Dave Stevenson, who is very well respected in the industry was and I'm sure still would be there for them... he proposed a much better deal! He was helping them non gratis for many many months... then this guy walks in with his mouth peice Jessy and has them dancing like Gertmainian did!!!

I don't know the specifics but I would guess that there will be a mass exodus of riders out of the guild. I don't know the legalities of this however.

Sounds like yet another bad case of " I told you so ".

the crappy part about this is NO ONE wants to say "I told ya so"! Jocks have a major chip on their shoulder! get over it... the Philly jocks are making progress in their mission... who needs the guild! Tony Black and Bobby Colton are proving just that.. both were officers in the guild and left because of the fiasco.. poor Eddie Accaro must be rolling in his grave!

One of the bigger problems for the riders is that they continually demand respect and then appear to go out of their way to make poor choices. It seems as though they were the only ones who couldn't see this selection was a bad one.

disgusted... is what the industry is... we reach out to help and get Jesse Jackson! I think JV is putting his name on a bad deal! He'll end up trashed just like Chris McCarron....
