Sakit,I personally don't care about his sexual orientation. But Tony is Freddy Mercury type Gay.
its tough for anyone to have a good year when burke is crushing everyone everywhereits like in a race when a horse is 1/9 everyone else odds are disproportionate chris ryder has been able to hold his ownandrew harris has actually done well marcus melander rules trotting and then there is akesome smaller guys jump in and grab a significant win every once in a while but it gets magnified when you have stables the size of alagna and you are a complete no show at the major races , less so but similar for takter
Anyone who brings up, discusses, and makes Tony (or anyone else's) sexual orientation a factor or even a topic------one, I don't want to know. Two, it speaks volumes about themselves and not the person whose sexual orientation is being questioned.
Tony didn't wake up one day and forget how to train horses. He's simply on a bad run. Tony has been sent/purchased regally bred horses for years now. However, the last few years have not been good. Owners then spend less, spend more with other trainers, and so on. It snowballs. The last few years have been disappointing for him, his barn, etc. Even his owners say so, LOL. If I had to guess I would say Tony might not even be in the top 25 in earnings right now, and maybe his barn has earned what? $2.5m? Maybe $3m?Tony will still have support, good owners, etc., and he'll regroup.
