Where's the Chief?
 

Bernardo Callejas, Jerkens's assistant, is named as trainer for a few of his horses Wednesday and Thursday at Aqueduct. Has the great Allen Jerkens been suspended?

Lets hope not!

Callejas was named on a few Jerkens horses over the weekend as well, including Lord Langfuhr in Saturday's Mellow Roll.

Nothing has been published by NY Racing & Wagering Board.

I noticed that. I also noted that one or two of the horses who once ran under the Hardwicke name were running for different owners.

Any info would be appreciated. When I saw nothing on the R&W site, I was concerned about the Chief's health. He's not a young man.

One horse was Becky's something that we talked about last week. She was scratched out of the 25K claimer but obviously sold privately.

Yes, that's the first thing I thought of, too. Hope he's okay.

I spoke to him and his lovely wife last Wednesday at Christine Lees at Gulfstream. He was there with a jock’s agent having dinner.

Good to know The Chief is doing well and kickin it in SoFlor. They probably hit the Shore Club after dinner.

a luxury Hotel here in Miami.. I think DeNiro's Nobu is there...dont ask me what Nobu is

If it's connected to the Nobu in NYC, it's a very expensive and (so I'm told) a very delicious sushi restaurant.

Or rather, a restaurant that serves delicious sushi. I don't imagine there are many edible restaurants. Unless maybe they were made of gingerbread. And then you'd have to like gingerbread, and what if you ate the silverware before your meal arrived?

Glad Jerkins is not freezing here in NY.

Yes, that's the same Nobu. Nobu is the chef.

Seems the Chief taking a break from the SoBe scene to run an underlaid Quality Affair in the 8th at Calder.

Nobu Matsuhisa is the chef. Drew Nieporent is the leader of the owner's group and DeNiro most likely has a small piece ( at least in NY where he used to live directly across the street ).
