Rockingham Ranch Horses To Cox

[Wandering Eyes]

Rockingham Ranch owner Gary Hartunian has revealed in a Twitter post that the horses he had with Jorge Navarro are in the process of being transferred to trainer Brad Cox. Hartunian was one of a handful of owners who have revealed plans for their horses that have been trained by Jason Servis or Navarro. The most notable was the news that Gary West had pulled all of

his horses from Servis and is sending Eclipse Award winner Maximum Security (New Year’s Day) to Bob Baffert.

Hartunian tweeted that the horses that Cox will be receiving include Jalen Journey (With Distinction), Norma’s Love (Street Boss) and Bottom Rebel (Chitu).

Rockingham Ranch IDs among the more prominent owners that employed Navarro and was a co-owner of X Y Jet (Kantharos). In the indictments issued Monday, the District Attorney for the Southern District of New York in Manhattan went into great detail to outline the doping regimen that was given to that horse. In January, Navarro reported that X Y Jet had died of a heart attack.

Rockingham Ranch is also the co-owner of Nanoosh (Paynter). In the indictment, it was reported that Navarro held a conference call with a stable in California in which “one of the operators” questioned whether or not Navarro was “giving them all the (expletive)” and also asked whether or not Nanoosh was “jacked out.” The name of the owner was not revealed.

The TDN has reached out to Hartunian for clarification but he has not returned repeated phone calls.

Owner Brian Trump revealed on Twitter that plans have been made for two horses he had with Navarro. He wrote that Amalfi Queen (Tapit) has been retired and that Ripper Magoo (Sky Mesa) has been sent to Cox.

The Daily Racing Form is reporting that owner Ron Lombardi (Mr. Amore Stables) is moving the six horses he had with Servis to trainer Kelly Breen. The list includes Firenze Fire (Poseidon’s Warrior), a winner of five graded stakes, including the GI 2017 Champagne S.
