Larry Jones

[Linny]

I had the chance (in fact good fortune) to spend some time with "Team Hard Spun" and met Gabe and his agent Ruben when they were in town for a grass stake for fillies. Larry is a gem of a guy and a great horseman. His is devastated by what happened to Eight Belles and the subsequent furor has been very upsetting for all involved. It is very hard to answer all th questions Larry has been asked without sounding "defensive" and becoming nearly hostile. Jones has dealt with all of it with unending grace.
Larry Jones is one of the few people in racing about whom I have NEVER heard an unkind word.

Just watched the roundtable discussion.. He truely is a very classy guy. I feel so bad for him. Great discussion and I really hope things do start changing for the better.

That should get you there, click on horse racing, and scroll down for parts I and II of the discussion. Part I is just a lead in, Part II is the actual roundtable.

Let's see some action not just talk.

favorite trainer as far as a fan. I gave him a thumbs and a "good job larry!" up after the 07Haskel and he gave me a thumbs up and a smile back

I thought both roundtables were an absolute waist of time. Both ESPN and NBC get big time thumbs down. Now I will say the most interesting part for me was when they flashed to the jocks room during the broadcast. I think that did capture their interest in this.

Agree with most of you about Jones. In the last 12 months he has really gained my attention and respect.
