Anybody have the inside track on whos taking his book?
The big time agents are all accounted for, so I have no idea who could have enticed him over Randy. The only I thing I can think of is that another jockey is about to make a move to a new agent and its freeing someone up to be Jara's agent.
that's no good. Jara had a great year -- at least on his big name mounts, and you've gotta think that Randy had something to do with getting him named on the better horses he's riding.

But that is just a rumor, and pure speculation on my part that Randy may have had something to do with that. I have no factual evidence, nor do I know anything as I am only barely older than a college student and know only a friend of a friend of a friend in the business.

Wild speculation over this sad move.

I smell a split coming between a top jock and an agent.
Its the only thing that makes sense. Jara is doing very well and I doubt that he just decided to dump Romero for no reason.
Someone who is a big agent whose about to lose a rider must have initiated this.

Oracle--could it be that a top jock might be moving his game to another location other than New York? But, I think you are right that a jock and agent are getting ready to split. Or maybe an agent is dumping a jock for Jara. That kid is 18 (I think) so he has tons of potential. He is in the good with Kiaran and that is a positive as well.

As far as Romero is concerned, he will bounce back. He seems to always do good no matter what. That man (like you said) has had a rough life. He is a good man and I wish the best for him.
