I'd be honored to have a classy cowboy like this train a horse for me. I was so glad he proved those naysayers wrong with the steroid negative on Eight Belles. Poor guy didn't deserve that, now if those jokers will take back the crap they threw at Saez...I won't hold my breath on that one. Larry and Rick Porter are sportsmen and I'm sure it hurts to congratulate them for putting Eight Belles in the race but she deserved to be there, and given the likely cause IMHO (given her regular stumbling situation) means this could've happened in the Oaks too. Larry did us the honor of running a terrific horse in the Derby so thanks, Larry.

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.

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.
