he's had a hell of a year, with losing eight belles and all the subsequent media from that, and then his first and only drug positive. his wife was pretty stressed out as well, i'd imagine all that back in the spring took its toll, and probably left a bad taste in their mouths...

THis happens to alot of People in our business You simply Get burnt out. I am sure if you were to ask Cannon Shell that he has experienced some kind of burn out in his career. I get that way every year after dealing with what seems like a gazillion yearlings. Some of us deal with it better than others myself I usually take a few weeks off and my batteries are recharged.

Larry Jones has had a very stressful year with all thats went on and he has every right to be burnt out. Hopefully if he does call it quits that he can take a few months off and maybe that flame will get to burning again. Personally I don't Know Larry Jones but I do know alot of people in the game that do and everyone I talk too has nothing but high praise for him.

Ken McPeek quit training a few years ago to become a bloodstock agent. Now he is back training after "recharging his batteries". Maybe Jones will do the same.

Yes, McPeek quit. And now he's back. He really needed to "recharge his batteries".

I am going to announce my retirement soon. I think sometime after the 2038 season I will start to wind down.

So, he toils in relative obscurity forever and then has a breakout year and a half that catapaults him to the top of the game.

Then he quits?

Better to quit at the top of your game, no?

I suppose.

I didn't notice before he said after 2009, so I'll take back what I said.
