This is in reply to this out of line statment and the other out of line statements in this forum.
I have never caredabout any of these chat rooms and I have never responded to any statements, but my office manager who has this account on this forum has been e mailing me comments made on this forum and this last one is just outlandish.
First off whoever said Achilles of Troy was lame all week and everyone knew it is a blantent liar or a flat out moron. He was never lame at all, he worked on wed with Ramon and he said he went better than ever, he walked on thurs, on fri he jog and gallopped the exercise rider who has gotten on him every day since before he started his winning streak said he did not act the same he was not pulling at the bit, he never said he was off. I have no idea why this was but his left foot was warm but he seemed to jog fine for the trainer and the vet.
His blood was pulled this morning and the results are pending. He had digital x rays and scans done on both his front legs and he shows nothing even remotley wrong, he is very strong this morning and in fact is meaner than he has ever been. If someone seen him off this week I would like them to identify themseleves because they are liars.
The second point nowhere does it say that the horse had his head sideways when the gate opened causing him to break last and having to be rushed up into a traffic jam going into the first turn and having to be checked 3 times and then having to go 5 wide into very slow fractions. it looked like a carbon copy of the race he ran 4th behind trailing twelve except for being left at the post.
As far as being vanned off the NYRA vet that had him vanned off is the same unqualified vet who tried to put down Bush\'s Song on the track last year claiming she had a shattered back leg, she in fact had the needle in the horses neck until Jennifer Pedersen stopped her. Bush\'s Song in fact had no injuries but she bled thru the nostrils causing her to tyr up on the track, she camr back to the races and won and placed in a couple of races and has since been bred to artax. if the vet had her way she would be dog meat. The vets name is Jennifer Durenberger and that case was brushed under the carpet because we did\'nt want to cause NYRA anymore embarrasement. After she came back to the barn with Achilles she said there was nothing wrong with the horse.
And as far as the poster on this forum making comments about \"class\", he stated that he meet me at my daughters sweet 16 party and that i was cold to him when he asked me about horse. First off I never talk to anyone about my business during family events, I take away enough time from my family conducting my business, second off if you were working why were\'nt you doing your job and not bothering the people you are supposed to be working for, why don\'t you stop hiding behind your screen name and make youself know to me, you know where I am every racing day come by and make your comments to my face, if you have the class to do that, as i have the class to call you a coward degenerate gambler right to you with you knowing exactly who I am.
And regarding Jennifer Pedersen, I have taken a lot of bad press for this move, but it is the right move under the circumstances, Jennifer is one of the finest horsemen in the country when she is on her game, with her health problems and family tragedies she needed time to get things worked out. The only problem is she does\'nt reconize that she is not herself. I offered her another position in Paraneck until she was ready to train again and it was for a very lucrative salary where her and her family would not have any worries until she was ready to come back, but I guess she wants to do things on her own. As I told Jerry Bosart in the NY Daily News \' the horses would be in Frank Amonte\'s name until Jennifer was ready to come back\".
And last regarding trainers not wanting to work for me, this is the biggest joke in history. There is not 1 Trainer who can train that would not take horses for me. Dutrow ( trains NY Hero for me), Pletcher,Frankel,Baffert, J Jerkens, Assmusson, Louie Albertroni ( he is begging to come back, and he will have horse in Del for me), Nick Zito, Jim Reyerson, Randy Bradshaw, Labocetta, Violette, you name it they want to train for me. So whoever said I have a problem getting trainers and that no one wants to train for me is misinformed or is being told by trainers who would never have a chance to train for me because af lack of ability and there are many of them. I know Jennifer said I was hard to train for , but this was said for different reasons .
