Default Jones runner, pony target of release

http://news.bloodhorse.com/article/45957.htm

Some people are going out of their way to torment Larry and Cindy Jones. A thoroughbred was let out of a stall one night and the next, the huge stable pony (a Paint/Belguin mix) was released and seemingly fed something designed to sicken him.

This may or may not have been Eight Belles related, but Jones has said that he and Cindy have received the most vile hate mail and phone calls imaginable the last 2 months, and it hasn't abated much.

There are some serious nutbars out there folks..

Wasn't one of his horses sponged before this employee was hired ? Then after the Derby he has the positive and now this. I hope this is the end of it but only time will tell.

I tell you this, if I ever caught anyone intentionally hurting any of my fur children [term includes scales, feathers and fins] then they will not make it to the "ruled offtrack" stage.

Is there a reason that Jones refused to hire a competent night watchman?

Or at least a nightwatchman...unless of course, that is who got fired.

As far as the pony being poisoned, once it was loose in the shedrow it could have gotten into any number of things on its own that would irritate and blister its mouth.

Because they just opened a Wal-Mart near the Delaware Track and all the good ones were taken?

[quote=geeker2]"The person we feel has been responsible has been ruled off the racetrack"

Reads to me like the Jones's are being run off the racetrack as in these horrible things will keep happening to them which is why I said what I said after having another doc read the thing and ask him what he thought......he drew the same conclusion.

If I was wrong great, I apologize. It just floored me that someone would actually blame the current hysteria on Larry Jones who the 2-3 times I have spoken to him as a perfect stranger couldn't have been more affable and kind.
It is criminal what is happening to him and his wife.

“The person we feel has been responsible has been ruled off the racetrack,” said Jones. “It was an employee of mine, but we are not going to call names.”

I may choose not to have your friend the doctor operate on me....

apology accepted.

...what did he draw it with, a crayon? Actually, given your reading comprehension skills, I'd gather that the other "Doc" was none other than that kid from "The Shining", you know, the one with the imaginary friend that lived in his mouth that spelled out "Red Rum" in the mirror.

In that case, I guess he used a tube of his mom's lipstick...

Yeah, we could all be a little more affable and kind. Typically, when I speak to perfect strangers, I just assume they are "complete morons" or "just out on parole" and tell them as much...
