I'm sure douglas does know...I just think it's low for the track to announce the ban without stating the reason for the ban. thats all.

I agree...total BS...give the reasoning, or don't make the announcement at all.

To be fair, they may not have made an announcement, the story may have spread causing Mike Welsch to investigate.

I'm not saying that's the case but these stories make their way around the racetrack in a hurry. I imagine the reason will be out very shortly.

fair enough...you're probably right. I hadn't considered the rumor-mill that might have gotten to the reporter

In the recent past, Calder "ruled off" another jockey in the same manner. Apparantly it prevents the jockey from obtaining legal counsel in order to get an appeal on a stewards ruling. If I remember the details correctly, the other jockey that was ruled off in this manner did not perservere with his mount, thereby causing the order of finish to obviously be different.
Reading the charts (Douglas' mounts) for the past 4-5 days may shed some light on the facts.
I don't feel that Calder does this without some merit.

Doesn't make sense. He wins the 8th and is kicked out before the 9th. Fight in jocks room? Winning tickets or batteries falling out of the silks, visa problems?

Weird... he was the king of Calder when I worked there back in the early 90s, even winning seven on a day once. He's had a very rough patch recently, what with his brother dying of an overdose and his father battling illness. I can't imagine what he's done to cause Calder to do this, but if I know Ken Dunn it's not something to snivel at. And I'd go so far as to say it's got little to do with any kind of riding infraction as the races are governed by the FL Dept of Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Calder has to follow their procedures first.

It'll be interesting to see what shakes out in the next few days...

I just spoke to Rene....even he doesn't know what this is about...but he did say that Dicksie knew.....he always knows. Apparently, and I don't think this will come as a surprise to anyone, his UFO picks up EVERYTHING.


Oh, wait, I forgot to add, his agent said he has no idea who the Bid is but if he did he wouldn't have told him the story.

Well, to be perfectly honest, my conversations were telepathic. But, to be fair, I just assumed everybody's were.

I'm now "in the know" also.

the cashier at the car wash this morning has a sister who lives in Miami.
Her best friend works at a place where friends of Rene's used to hang out.
Got the whole story from this guy.

i did promise not to say a word though. sorry all...
my word is my bond.
