Ok so who told them to go away? I’m curious who you think has enough power in the industry to convince people to go away
Mike from Central Park.
I thought so.Again, nothing about the conspiracy theories, owing people money, etc. Rumor and innuendo. But, Bob Glazer was a monster owner. Everyone knew him, talked to him, etc. So, all of this too is public information. His involvement, interest, and I would suspect, his passion, were impacted by a few things. One, he went from a major buyer of yearlings, and playing the game at the highest level, to being a very big breeder. He shifted from buyer to breeder, and he bred to race initially. His business and business model changed. He talked about this a lot in interviews he gave.Two, yes his mother died. She lived near me back then and I used to see them outside the track often. As everyone knows, they were very close and together shared a real passion for the sport and business. They spent a lot of time together, traveled, etc. When she died, Bob lost that one person who he was able to share that with. Lastly, from comments he made, he seemed to be very disappointed, even angry, at the industry in general-----due to the incident at the Meadows when The Panderosa tested positive for morphine. I don't remember the specifics, but I think there were 8 other trainers got morphine positives, and Glazer's horse was either the lowest or second lowest amount. I don't remember if everyone had to forfeit the purse or not, but the other 8 trainers got no penalty, minimal fine, time served credit kind of thing, based upon the circumstances and likelihood of contamination, and Pelling got something like 9 months.
Bob was fine last time I spoke with him he lost interest in the business over a few things his mom passing the pandarosa positive and the straw that broke the camels back was when his horse won the Wilson and got taken down and almost every trainer he had was getting positives ledford he just got disgusted with the industry kept his studs had most of his brood mares and babies on his farm in Ohio as far as paying his bills he paid at 90 days he ran it like a business a lot of people over charged him and billed him for shit his horses never got Bob is a really good guy he’s just a private person and one other thing his father did invent Mr coffee but really made billions building strip malls all over the country when his dad passed there was a big thing on the news about his accountant had stolen a lot of his money
Are you telling us that a trainer had to race and carry The Peter Pan Stable for 90 days before he got paid the first penny?
'a lot of people over charged him and billed him for shit his horses never got'They all do that....
