 No mention of the Bonjiourno crime syndicate, I've thought Mr.Sears has a good inclination that something bad may come along with being associated to that crime family.

 Going to lay low then he will be back with a vengeance, once the heat gets turned down.

 So she just "quit" all of a sudden too?
 Come on, there's alot more to this story than what meets the eye.

She ‘unretired’ already.  Goes under MJBS stables now.  Brother is not involved.

Even though people here are anti-Bongiorno, it's a feather in Sears cap to get a woman more than 20 years younger than him.

Feather in his cap, LOL. Good one. What cap is that? It means nothing to me. Look, I've long thought on (the) track he is a great driver. Period. Putting him down on a horse, with some people that's all they care about, on-track. I won't speak to that as it's not my point. However, off-track, and maybe to some that's none of anybody's business. That said, I've felt he's had issues at times, like many people (not drivers, but people!), he's had some issues. Based upon whatever I knew, thought, felt, was going on, I never had a problem putting him down on a horse. All of this, whether it means something, everything, or nothing.....getti ng a woman 20 years younger than him was never a contributing factor.

I thought he had slipped a little in the last 2 years he drove, and wasn't driving much except for Melander. It's actually a good thing for Melander that Sears stepped away because Dexter Dunn was a big plus.

And Jen B got a nice little nest egg from her 5% to do nothing. Now they just hang out and relax. Brian just bought a nice house on a golf course in Pinehurst. And Jen is helping to manage a syndicate of Pinehurst owners. Easy pickings from newbies that own small shares

In the article Brian didn't say the reason why he left Vernon to go to the Meadows. Or if he did, he couldn't say the real reason why he left.

Yes he did say, Vernon was closed for the winter. He stated in the article that Palone was listed on 4-5 in every race so he thought he could pick up some good work, Gate’s dropped him off and told him if it doesn’t work out call him and he would come pick him up.
Being from Meadows I remember Brain showing up with a small stable, maybe 5 horse. Gary Martin had a few for us and called us up when Palone picked off and said this Sears kid looks ok let’s us him.
That was after maybe 3 wks and the snow ball started.
I had a conversation with Brain when he was here maybe 18 or  19 
He said then he was sitting on a few mill and was thinking about how much longer he wanted to do this.Then he fell into the Melander account. People don’t realize how stressful it his for the drivers that are the very best ,
After a while they reach a financial point where the stress out weights the money. There are very few in that situation, Campbell, Lanchance , Pierce & Sears. Palone is at the same point that’s why he doesn’t travel anymore.
There’s been a lot a great drivers just the above group who also had financial discipline to go along with the talent
