This week he showed up with Campo.
Demola.

I don't know about fickle, but it's pretty much accepted that he is a common P.O.S.

and at Penn National this week he had Peter Bazeos and Konstantinos Harigeorgiou listed as trainer for the Paraneck horses running there. Plus, Kyle Branch (how long has he been a 7 pound bug?) rode for Paraneck at Penn National and Aqueduct. How much lower can the winning percentage go for Paraneck?

my favorite paragallo story. i was still back in new york years ago and friendly with a young trainer. the trainer was working for paragallo and they were fortunate to come up with a super horse. jim ryerson is one of the nicest, hard working, and honorable guys i ever met on the backside. in most cases, a horse like unbridled would be a blessing for a young trainer trying to establish himself. paragallo turned it into a nightmare. he tortured jimmy with constant meddling and unbelievable mismanagement of a great horse. remember his insistance of running in the derby with a pair of bar shoes ? he represents all thats bad in the business and there are plenty more like him. the guys a jerk, and his money allows him to steamroll anyone foolish enough to get involved with him.

I can understand when low percentage trainers like Campo or Demola agrees to go along with EP. but what the hell is Jacobson who is winning a ton of races strings along with him?
