Dale Romans is in a relationship with Greg Fox?

You tell me...though I have to LOL at the thought, what's her name Gail Fox, she's the ex jockey. Regardless it was a waste of 5 mins of my life.

Her brother Billy rode Forty Niner to his win in the NYRA Mile. Jocks were on strike.

Andy- Didn't he also pop Chris Antley on the picket line?

I remember a kid named Jose Romero, who used to ride for Lukas never got a shot after being labeled a "scab"

Of course there's the pesky problem that one network doesn't own all 3 race rights. Is it next year we could have that again? Makes the likelihood of a bonus easier. I don't blame them for not being enthusiastic about watching the Belmont. I mean it wasn't exactly clash of the titans, and a lot of kids are out of school so people that can find better things to do just might take the opportunity. June's harder for tv viewing, period. Not everybody thinks about the Belmont by name, they just know there's a 3rd race if you have a Triple Crown, so that's another problem. I tried to tell someone I couldn't come with them because the Belmont was on Saturday, they looked at me like I'd said "I can't come with you because I need to learn to play the nose trumpet."
