Laura Perillo = Jamie Ness?

[RunForTheRoses]

Seeing her in PPs last two days, never heard of her but I know at least one horse she has was previously trained by Ness. Is Ness suspended?

Perillo taking over Ness division

Beginning with the opening of the Belmont fall meet, Laura Perillo will be training the New York division for Midwest Thoroughbreds. Perillo takes over for Jamie Ness, for whom Perillo worked as an assistant the last year.

Perillo, 30, worked for Midwest’s previous trainer, Brad Cox, before joining with Ness.

“It’s time for her to take over the reins,” Ness said. “I got a lot of horses at Delaware and Maryland. I can’t get up there as much as I’d like. I wish her all the luck and hope she does good.”

“Nervous and excited,” Perillo said. “I don’t want to mess it up.”

Perillo will have 17 horses in her care, three of whom are entered on Saturday’s opening-day program. Leilani’s Ticket and Charlie’s Punch are a coupled entry in the sixth, with Luis Saez named on both, so only one may run. Cash Your Ticket is entered in the ninth.

She's never been a trainer, she's fairly young, but, i'm sure she will probably show the world, Lisa Guerrero style, that training isnt all that hard.

..... that training isnt all that hard.

Ouch, those are fightin' words to some posters here.:)

Well, you know, training is either hard or its not......and if its hard, you would imagine that newbie trainers have a steep learning curve. Lisa G showed its a piece of cake.....hopefully some trainers can chime in and explain why training is easy for some people and hard for others.

Laura was Mark Shuman's trainer for a couple of years before going to work for Brad Cox

Well, let's see... assuming that this gal goes on to have immediate success - I suppose one could explain her early success on the fact that she has been an assistant to a couple of the winningest trainers in recent history with the backing of one of the winningest owners in recent history. There's a good chance that other than the entering and calling owners, she's probably got the routine that leads to wins down pretty much pat. So, it wouldn't be too surprising to find that she can win races despite her lack of tenure as a licensed trainer. I'm pretty sure if you looked at some of today's esteemed trainers, you'd see a somewhat similar history in experience, so regardless of one's opinion of Ness (which I certainly understand) or Midwest, it's hardly amazing to see an individual with her resume and backing to succeed immediately on becoming the actual listed name of record in the form.

Correct........in 5 weeks proximity or SRU may become 37 percent specialists or any of us

How does slope handicapping and timeformus equate for chemists?!

RED CLOAK of the p.r.i. would never allow that here in the mid-atlantic/east.

somewhere else though, yeah, i'd probably be 30some % for mid west t-breds. :rolleyes:

It's covered in Chapter 7, Trainer Intent. You'll have to purchase the book.

Translation: NYRA can detect more illegal substances and/or won't look the other way like Delaware and Pennsylvania will, so give them to a legitimate trainer, meaning one without a degree in equine pharmacology.

Yup, NYRA got Rudy for drug infractions and now he's been quiet in NY ever since.

Lisa G showed its a piece of cake.....hopefully some trainers can chime in and explain why training is easy for some people and hard for others.well there's quite a big difference between receiving horses that are currently racing or ready to race and taking two year olds, breaking them and going through all the turmoil to get them to the races. And a big difference between the above and bringing horses back from layoffs. So from that standpoint it's not that hard. It gets hard after horses come of their peak and you have to then become the trainer. Now if your up to speed in the latest PED's then it is also very easy. However, some people simply have a gift of knowing how to understand and relate to animals. That's generally not something you can learn. If you given that gift it can certainly make the learning curve rather short and your ability to make the right decisions a hell of alot easier.
