Sounds like Mena's agent isn't doing him any favors.

I think it's great to see a local jock like that pick up a winning mount in a Graded Stakes race.

Good for Beckner

Wow, Elzey is some good agent/guy. Takes 20k from Mena (no gaurentee that Mena would have gotten the horse home) and then tips the whole world off to Mena's issue. If Mena is so talented why isn't Elzey attached to Mena's hip 24 hours a day keeping him straight. You would think that he's eventually going to learn the hard way that this isn't Turfway and that the Jockey colony is pretty damn deep up there. I thought as an agent you were supposed to protect your clients, not embarrass them publically while potentially hurting his buisness.

I would find a new agent right after I found the nearest AA meeting room. Its one thing for the agent to get help for his client but for him to call him out publicly on a private matter is a bit much!

With agents like this you dont need enemies!

Exactly. But if there were cougars involved I'd like to know.

All the papers called Beckner a local jock ... but he's actually not.

He rides at Presque Isle... not Mountaineer.

Jose Santos was in town for a couple days to visit Beckner a week or two ago.

Didn't Beckner used to ride at Mountaineer on a regulary basis?
