No. I simply responded specifically to your statement blanketing all agents. And that particular post was not even an endorsement of Leon. Nor did I claim the agent would be successful at controlling Leon's tack.
I have known hundreds of jocks and dealt with hundreds of agents . Furthermore, I could regale you with a few anecdotes about small track agents trying desperately to hold extremely talented jocks in place. One, in fact, put a knife to his rider's throat. I would add, though, that a rider can always call his own shots. The agent works for him.
If , however, Leon did decide to test deeper waters, his agent would never take a low road. I know him well and can attest to his character.
I heard Leon was considering Florida, but will probably opt instead merely to ride more in Ky.
I get your point about talent finding its level, but there are exceptions, and I think Leon constitutes just such an instance.
Whatever the case, tx for the response.
