it's a shame for tim, but we all know it's a part of the business. anyone looking for a reason for the change need only read the above, where tim has two wins at oaklawn thus far. i'm sure the jayaramans were hoping for better-so they've decided to make a change. but at least they didn't go with assmussen or pletcher!

from todays daily news...

Owners of Belmont Stakes winner Summer Bird fire trainer Tim Ice due to 'mismanagement'

Tim Ice celebrated his 35th birthday in a unique way - standing in the winner's circle at Belmont Park after Summer Bird won the Belmont Stakes. Less than a year later, the trainer finds himself looking for work after being fired by owners Dr. Kalarikkal and Vilasini Jayaraman. Summer Bird and 24 other horses owned by the Jayaramans left Ice's barn at Oaklawn Park in Arkansas Tuesday.

"It broke my heart when he (Summer Bird) walked out of the barn," Ice said. "All I can do is start over and go forward with the six that I have left and rebuild my stable." It's nothing new for the Jayaramans to fire a trainer. Kalarikkal told the Daily Racing Form that they have gone through 82 public and seven private trainers since getting involved in the sport in the early 1980s.
