The decision to change stables with Lenny was a difficult one as JJ had done a terrific job.
After the rehab performed at sheron park predominately by pat Ryan it was decided to send Lenny to David Aiken to join numerous other horses we have at such a strong and in form stable.
After lennies return to the track we could not be happier.
JJ only won a Derby with him.
On face value it certainly looks a ruthless decision
I'm sure JJ is wrapt the horse is going so well for you Martin.
The horse is certainly flying but as said above he did win the NSW Derby as a 3 year old. As for feeling sorry for JJ well I don't agree. Trainers sack slow horses (or horses that are too slow for them) all the time. I am sure the ratio would be over 100-1 the number of good horses changing hands. Its the owners perogative as they are paying the bills.
I don't see the correlation Jack. How does a trainer sacking slow horses equate to an owner sacking a Derby winning trainer. No one is disputing that the owners pay the bills and can do anything they likeQuote:

Are you serious? I dont know any owner who enjoys paying up for a slow horse Jack.Quote:

??? Because there's so many harness racing trainers out there with a queue of people wanting a horse trained? If trainer says that to you only 1 possibility? They are being honest.Quote:
