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..

Why would you say it may or may not have have been Eight Belles related? The article says it is clearly not Eight Belles related. It says that they believe a disgruntled employee was responsible.

To quote from the article, "Jones is confident he is not the target of other horsemen or activists."

The employee has been fired.

To insinuate that animal right's activists could have possibly been responsible is absurd. I know it would have made a better story if animal right's activists were involved. However, that is not the case.
