Agree Monte not a great source but he did know Bill.  They bought horses together and good ones for good money and probably shoved a few dollars in there pocket.

I believe Grant should be replaced with Heffering

Surely you recall John Grant moving all his horses from Fellows to McEneny.

The jealousy and hatred here is deplorable.

Some guys are just better than you.

Coveting what others have and what you failed to do is not only a deadly sin but a worthless use of time.

Turn to Christ. 

Pray.

not at all
however if as some have said that robinson had many fines and suspensions than he was playing outside the rules, kind of like barry bonds and roger clemens
and please don't get us started on monte gelrod, i have sat behind a horse 3 times which i suspect is at least twice more than him

Grant has horses with Fellows.
Fellows buys horse for Grant from Robinson.
Robinson runs into Grant and says that horse I sold u for 30 is racing well.
Grant says what? I paid 70.

Never sold a horse where I didnīt make a profit, generally tried to get something from both ends. Price of doing business. Itīs called being an agent.
