Jailbird Jog is a 3 yr old filly that cost $52,000 and has already banked $430,000..... plus she's worth a bunch of money. I'd be thrilled to own any piece of her no matter what the expenses! 
The thing is, she has the speed to blast but I think they raced her from the back because she settled much better. James said he did not think she would make a good 3yo because of her anger but she proved him wrong. Like I said, Had Anthony driven her, she would have made the final because he does not have the patience of James and while that wins him a lot of races, that very thing cost him big time. So it is rather ironic as to what happens because as Anthony said today, He (James is a great driver) and he is not as good, LOL
As an owner be it minority or Hutchison Harness who owns a bigger piece, I feel sorry for them because they got totally fucked
I'm rambling below with a story
I owned a champion trotter in NZ (I got him as my 1st horse when I was 18. He was trotter of the year in the 80's 2 years in a row. He had 66 starts there and galloped in like 30 of them early on. He won 24 races and it took him 10 starts to get his 1st win which was his 1st start behind the gate. The others were standing starts.
He had one fault and that was if he was on the fence in the #2 hole or 3 or 4 back, he refused to take a gap on the inside. He missed in a 70,000 race because he would not take the gap on the inner and near the finish the third horse on his out stopped enough and he absolutely flew and missed by a head. I had told the driver before, go to the lead and do not give it up and he never did because he could go longer distances with the hammer down and never get tired. And the reason he lost that 70,000 race was he lost 40 yards at the start, the race was over 3200 meters (2 miles from a stand) He circled the field (14 horses from last two first in the back stretch with just over a mile to go and the leader saw him coming so he slotted in the two hole behind it. He still had a ton of pace but for that refusal to take the inside.
He's the only trotter I ever owned and the other 10 that I owned were all pacers. Ironically he broke the 2600 meter 1 5/8th (behind the gate) by 4 seconds and went two fifths of a second faster than any pacer had ever run. I got him as a 2 yo, he was abused, left to rot in a paddock, his hooves were like 5 inches longer and he could not walk properly. curbed hocks, bone splints, skin and bone when I got him. It took 3 years to get him right and he raced from 5 to 8 years old,
One funny story was he had lost his first 9 starts as I mentioned above, I saw there was that Maiden at Addington (The best track over there) from the gate. I called the secretary and said I need to get him in. 14 horses and he said, Your horse is about 18th, his form was 11th, 13th, 19th, 12th. I said he need the gate he will win. He said I don't think so, I said well we just had him in a trial from behind the gate at my home track but we had to put him in with free-for-all pacers as that was the only race with a gate. He said well, did le leave the gate well, I said yes, he settled in 8th place on the outer, the driver pulled him half way down the stretch and he beat all the pacers. He thought I was bullshitting him and he made some phone calls and said, You were right, so he got that start and he won and he went off at 8-1.
One final thing, he was by Great Evander (a pacer) who left 149 winners of which 101 trotted and 48 paced, out of a Junior Royal Mare (Junior Royal dead heated with Cardigan Bay (The 1st ever horse to win a million in the USA) so pacers all around but the Great Evander's all trotted and 3 generations back on his mama's side there were a slew of great trotters behind all that pacing blood.
A well known driver over there said to me, you want to get a really fast trotter, breed your trotting mare to a pacing sire at least half a dozen of NZ best trotters were by pacing sires.
