Hollywood Park has already announced they are commited to racing through 2011. Beyond that it's not my place to comment.

As for my calls. When I became an agent I agreed that I would make no calls that might cause patrons to complain I was favoring the jockey I work for. I have adhered to that.

Part of my job is to promote Hollywood Park and as such when a jockey has a great or "newsworthy" day I will try to rally behind that exciting accomplishment. I've made calls such as " Remember the Talamo" " Cinco de Bejarano" and the " Domincan Dandy" these are designed to generate interest and honor the hot rider.

Are they over the top? Certainly some would say yes. I don't think so but that's my way. It's served me well for 28 years in this business. I'm not likely to change that anytime soon.

I am a huge fan of our sport. Especially jockeys who IMO don't get the recognition they deserve.

I try to conduct myself in a professional manner at all times.
