He never left. Just got his p.ussy hurt and made his wife trainer in name only.

I assume there was a bet as to how long he'd be retired before he'd come back. Did anybody here get it right? I almost said "before he pulled a Brett Favre," but I realized that has a different meaning now than it used to.

It'll be interesting to see how owner Rick Porter divides up his horses between Tony Dutrow and Jones.

I like the guy. I thought his handling of the Eight Belles situation was as classy as it comes.

How do you get "too much aluminum" in your system?

From aluminum cookware.

Also, a lot of vaccines contain aluminum.

Those are the two most common ways, but there are others.

What I want to know is how Smoothie got fecal matter in his brain.

This is incorrect (sorry, Charlie). A single antacid tablet has 1,000 times more aluminum in it than a vaccine. And I imagine antacids are probably part of the average horse trainer's diet. Vaccines are not a notable source of aluminum. A baby ingests more from his momma's milk than he gets in a full course of vaccines. (Pause while I push my nerd glasses back up my nose)

But you're right; you do get it from a number of sources. American cheese is fairly high in it, and if you drink soda or beer from cans you're ingesting it, too. That said, aluminum reaching toxic levels in someone's body is pretty rare; it's likely Larry Jones has a predisposition to it. In any event, glad he's feeling better and back to training.

I forgot about antacids. However, there is a difference between ingesting it and having it injected into your blood.

That was quick. I hope when I retire, that's it.

Let's hope your retirement isn't encouraged by thousands of idiot strangers telling you that, in spite of caring for, loving and devoting your life to horses, you are a horse killer that deserves to die.

I'm glad he's decided to put himself in the public spotlight again. There was no valid reason for him to have to leave it in the first place.

Thousands sent Larry Jones death threats? LOL OK.

[Riot]

I didn't say thousands personally sent him death threats. Although he indeed received quite a few. There were certainly thousands out in the newspapers and internet, on horse sites and elsewhere, that said it. The PETA clowns certainly tried to make his life miserable. The worse was seeing that vitriol coming from "racing fans".

To be fair, you said thousands told him he was a horse killer that deserved to die. That seems like a threat to me.

In case you have forgotten, be impeccable with your word....speak with integrity. Words to live by.

Oh ok. You made it seem like thousands of people were calling his home just to give their opinion of him.

"Hey is this Larry?"

"Yeah"

"I hope you die."

"baawww I quit!"

To be fair, let me better define my statement for the intellectually impaired children on this board who transparently pretend to care about accuracy, but really are only interested in starting shiat with other posters they don't care for :

"Let's hope your retirement isn't encouraged by thousands of idiot strangers telling you that, in spite of caring for, loving and devoting your life to horses, it's your fault a horse you trained was euthanized, and some even say you are a horse killer that deserves to die because of it."

Wow, if there ever was a pot calling the kettle black...
