Who IS William I Fox - Trainer
 

Remember a Jockey back in 80's go by that name. He seems to have some of Romans connections and horses. Has Romans been suspended and Fox is an assitant trainer similar to Blasi for Assmussen?

He has a Horse entered into the Darley Alcibiades this friday at KEE with Prado up. Previous trainer listed was Romans.

Anyone with input?

Thanks,

Back Thursday.. Believe Fox is his father in law...

Tony, I think that is the case. Romans has been suspended for 7 days, but that suspension should be coming to an end very soon (if not over already). Fox saddled a horse to a stakes victory in Laurel and Nolans Cat to a last place finish in the Hawthorne GC...

Didn't he ride Forty Niner when he won the NYRA Mile during the jockey strike?

The filly in the Martha Washington (LRL) was Precious Kitten.. the half sis to Kitten's Joy...

Charlie Simon
 

Thanks for the quick reply folks!!

While we are at it Chuck Simon has few runners on Friday at Keeneland.
Any word on his runners for this weekend? He has his go to guy Bejerano listed on one of them on my first pass for Friday's Keeneland card.

Thanks,

His Record is listed as 1 for 2 so far. So he got one home first and last so far.

The 'Simon' shed..
 

Tony..

There's a few here on the DT that know the Simon barn well.. I'm sure word will leak out...

No BTW that was his son Billy Fox.

That is Correct Steve Dale is William Fox's father in law, Dale is married to Williams Fox's daughter Tammy.

Dosent Tammy ride for him every now and then.

Yeah she does, shes his wife.

JESUS, MIKE!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

No, Jesus is related to me:D

Cajun, lol, I wasn't trying to be funny, she is.
They have kids, including a real nice boy named Jake who I think is about 11 or 12.

Romans' wife is a pistol.. She's about 4' 8", at the most, and one tough cookie..

I'm confident that someone at DT who works around the Churchill backstretch can relate the story of her punching out a rival female trainer while BOTH were on horseback...

Pretty funny story...

Sounds like my kind of gal. :D

I find it truly amazing the real life , funny, and sentimental stories that evolve or surround the racing community. Someone really should write a book about all the Race Track characters, although the movie let it ride did a fairly decent job of that.
