I wouldn’t call this breaking news compared to the Marshall Gramm scandal and now the Keeneland sales scandal. I can confirm that this is accurate, but far from scandalous. I met Jake almost 15 years ago when he was in his mid 20s in a low level position at Taylor Made. I loved his passion for the game. Before I knew him, met him or even knew how old he was, he got a hold of my email and started emailing me before big races just with a simple: “Good luck today Mr. Repole.” I didn’t know if he was 25 or 65 at the time. But I was always appreciative of the nice messages. When I finally met Jake @westbloodstock, I found out he was in his mid 20s at the time and after a few years, I gave him an opportunity to sell the best mare I had at that time, Unlimited Budget. I wasn’t worried whether he was qualified or not qualified, or whether he would get me the best price for the horse, I respected the fact that a young, aggressive, hustling kid in racing was trying to make a name for himself. Jake West resigned from Repole Stable in August. Honestly, I was surprised because Jake has been such an intregal part of the success of the Repole Stable team for years. Jake has an amazing story I truly admire, from someone who had no ties to this industry and was from outside of Lexington. To go from a kid at Taylor Made sending emails to “Mr. Repole” to the success he’s been part of with my stable, and with Mr. & Mrs. Low, and to now have a prestigious senior management role at an historic farm like Claiborne is an amazing accomplishment. I’m sure living in Lexington and working for someone as outspoken as me must have weighed heavily in his decision. I respect that. I have two stallions at Claiborne, 20 broodmares at least, and probably 50 total horses. I can truly say, if it wasn’t for Jake West, I would not have had this relationship with Claiborne Farm. Sometimes you raise kids and they go away to college. 😂

That’s the way I’m looking at this. Jake West may not be a part of Repole Stable, but he will ALWAYS be a part of the Repole family. ❤️🙏

The 'Hands on History' of BLAME 🌟 TDN is proud to introduce this new series, in collaboration with @BreedersCup, shining a spotlight on the people that have had a hand in the success of these memorable Breeders' Cup winners. Charlie Oliver helped bring Blame into the world. Kevin Lay has been the Blame's groom for 16 years. Walker Hancock worked with Blame as a yearling. All three followed him throughout his career, cheering every step of the way, and have remained steadfast supporters during his time as a stallion at stud. It's hard to believe the 2010 GI Breeders' Cup Classic winner, who was crowned the 2010 Champion Older Horse, turned 20 this year. His official birthday is May 2.
