What a joke. Now he says he took the last offer. Who in the world would take a job when he's not wanted? Cannot imagine him being a good fit. The Guild should just stop taking his lawyer's calls and it will end.

oh boy....just saw on t'bred times that he accepted. yikes. i was bummed out by the news, but that was tempered by the great news about barbaro!

so, they withdrew, and now he's claiming to accept the last offer??? this is NOT GOOD. the guild can't win for losing. why in the world did they dump the guy who came in after gertmenian??


i don't need a crystal ball to see litigation in the future over this.

i felt from the get-go that this was a rotten, horrible move. times like this that i wish i was being proven wrong.

that sound you hear is the final nail being hammered into the coffin known as the jockeys guild. they can't seem to find a way not to keep shooting themselves in the foot. not sure tho that this will fly, manley 'accepting' an offer that was no longer being offered. i suppose it's too much to hope for that he'll just go gently into that dark night....

Samm, will the guild have any influence on tracks that set up their own program? I hope not. Lets hope that all the tracks go in this direction.

JV-I'm losing a lot of respect for you. You sound like you don't even know what's going on half the time when you speak about these matters. That's not what a leader does. Your a good jock but a joke as a leader.

Damn! I was so happy until I got to the bottom of the thread. What the hell is going on? Are they buying him out or will he head the guild? Samm, is there an update that I can get on todays archive? I missed the show. Please get rid of these MFers while you have the chance. Hey JV they're going to make you look real bad. Do the right thing and dump these guys.

I'm completely deflated.... they were doing the right thing by withdrawing the offer... but the slimball seeing that they were wising up gets his attorney to call thoroughbred times and say they accepted.. So what do the jocks do... they folded... [url] I can't help them anymore... I have been working on this since last year... hoping good things would come.... just cracked a bottle of Russian vodka that my daughter brought home from her tour of duty there... I should be drinking to celebrate... not escape!! almost a waste of the good stuff.. but I gotta do it. just don't call me til at least noon! lol
