Thats crazy scud.... You can find any trainer, gallop boy, jockey, agent, any of those guys at your local golf course, restaurant, bar, whatever. You dont see them walking around with body guards. When have you seen Barry Bonds ever stop and speak to someone walking on or off the field. Ask Borel, Toups, or Albarado a question sometime when they come out of the tunnel, see what you get. I would be shocked if any of the three didnt walk over and acknowledge you personally.

As for the trainers, which trainers do you want to speak with? Cannon comes in here and expresses himself, any trainer prior to a race is over on the front side. They dont sneak out of a dugout, they dont drive up in a limo. Most of them are in normal cars parked with everyone else. At Churchill you can walk up and speak to them whenever you want.

As for a jocks agents who really cares about a jocks agent? I would think you would want to avoid them more than you would want to speak with them.

Most of the guys in this sport are very gracious, down to earth, and easily accessible to the public
