Being as this board is run by a member of the "racing media" I would think that the owner ofthe BB would prefer that random rumors not be propagated here. Steve is not "just some fan" but a media person with a reputation to be concerned about.
I wouldn't be shocked if Porter canned Jones, he's a "trainer shopper" IMO. That said, unless it's more than backstretch gossip, keep it on the backstretch.

The 'rumor' as it were, is untrue. Just spoke to Larry Jones who says everything is OK with him and Rick Porter.
The kernal of truth that may have started the rumor however is that Jones said he will NOT be taking in any new 2 year olds next year in an attempt to pull back somewhat from his current obligations. He worked with 60+ two year olds this year and said he can't do it again. He hasn't decided if he will be taking a complete break from training at some point, but did say that the year round pressures of the game take a toll from which he'd like to get a break. He did say Porter will have to find someone else to send his 2009 juveniles to, and that may have started the larger rumor of a breakup between the two... He is excited about another Derby run however, and will be sending Friesan Fire and High Mesa in the Futurity at Belmont Saturday...

Do you really think that rumors posted on a PUBLIC message board actually affect the owner of that message board's reputation?

Not only rumers, but if Steve's reputation is based on the content of this site by it's members.....he might as well pack it in right now and go hide in the Cah Sol
