Rosario investigation (12/13: CHRB clears..)

[docicu3]

The horse was spent on the front end and wasn't placing regardless of Rosario's ride at that point. If it wasn't for the report of the intention to buy, an obvious slight of the trainers preparation for the horse, which is reported by the trainer this is a non story. Let the process play out so all have their say before passing judgement. The "attempt to buy" may not be all that is printed but until Vic and Rosario have a chance to respond at the appropriate time the information is incomplete. The whole thing is very strange..

Jockey agents are often asked to inquire about the availability of horses they ride because they already have a relationship with the trainer of the horse. They may or may not have anything to do with the actual purchase of the horse.

Chuck ...Am I wrong in assuming that an agent coming to you the next day about purchasing a horse that ran below expectations is kinda insulting your approach to the horse?

or it may not be so strange. the owner/trainer thought the horse would win, and he didn't. so now he thinks he has a huge conspiracy on his hands rather than just saying hey, maybe the horse just couldn't do it.

It isnt really a slight. There are inquiries all the time about buying horses. The fact is that it is the end of the meet and Glenney is shipping out of CA. Perhaps someone thought he may be interested in selling, especially since he didnt pay much for the horse and he does sell horses at public auction. What is strange is Glenney thinking that he should have won. I could see if he was complaining about third place but winning?

Not really. But I dont get mad when people claim my horses either. It's business. As a matter of fact if you sold everytime someone made an inquiry you would probably be ahead in the long run.
