Removal of 25 horses from trainer Ice?

[wilf]

89 trainers? There must be an eclipse award for such an achievement,hell they give them out to horse-traders. Let's see now, 89 trainers and then you go from Tim Ice to Tim Richey so I guess it may be Tim Yakteen in a few months. I personally would never train for an owner who was dumb enough to give his horses to someone like me.

I know a small time owner like that. He thinks the world of the "trainer of the moment" but then gets upset over something small and changes trainers. I know a couple years ago he went through six in one year...I don't know how trainers can work for people like that.

I got some horses from some folks once who had been in the business for 20 years. When I had them for a year, every trainer on the backside said I had set the record for the lngest they stayed with anyone. At 18 months they pulled the horses. At 18 months & 10 days they called and asked to bring them back (2 horses). They only have one racing now, but we have been together for going on 6 years (minus 10 days, of course ). They aren;t the easiest people, but they have stuck by me and I appreciate that. Never know when the "click" will happen, I guess.
