LOL!!!
I cancelled the original because after i posted it I clicked on it to make sure nothing came up and some crazy site did!!! I didn't wanna be responsible for that one!!!

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.

I know it's business but how in the hell could someone fire a guy like Randy Romero? He's done an outstanding job getting this kid the right mounts.

I couldn't look the guy in the eye and tell him i'm picking another agent. Especially considering what Randy's been through and the sacrifices he's made to keep working.

Usually jockey/agent news doesn't interest me but this particular one is disconcerting.

Thats why I think someone big has to be freeing up and incited this.
Has to be someone big enough to convince the kid that he can get him in with more top stables than hes riding for now.
Frieze(Prado) sure won't be going anywhere, nor will Anderson(Gomez) or Cordero(Velazquez).
That leaves a pretty short list of guys who are considered top flight or who have some juice with trainers that would lead a guy to dump Randy.
I'm guessing word will leak out shortly.

wow, romero is a total class act -- at least here. i don't know him, but that's all class right there.

LOL!!! Ok I get it now!!
I hadn't read any article on this, I was just told by someone that Jara had dumped Randy.
I completely get it now.
Gatewood Bell is the son of Jimmy Bell, the big honcho with the Sheikh's operation.
Yeah, I get it now, lol!!

Gatewood Bell is the son of Jimmy Bell, President of Darley USA.

Figures.

First of all, day to day, Jara is less than a good jockey. He has gotten lucky because of his relationship with Kiaran. He is the absolute proof that it is horses, and not riders, that win races. He has shown unequivicably that a good horse can overcome a lot.

I don't know who is taking his book, though I am sure there is a lot more than meets the eye, and all this speculation is VERY likely missing the real story.
