Solis Says Jockeys' Guild Committed to Turnaround | bloodhorse.com (586 words)
Jockey Alex Solis, who was instrumental in bringing sports agent and rare-coin collector Dwight Manley to the attention of the Jockeys' Guild, said he's committed to turning around the Guild and hopes to bring it back to prominence in the Thoroughbred industry.
Solis, 42 and a member of the smaller Guild board of directors, said Manley would work for the Guild for the first year without compensation, and then would be given a salary based on his "performance" during his initial year.
Solis during an interview with The Blood-Horse also addressed the controversial involvement of the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who was a surprise guest at the Guild's June meeting and who many believed would be employed by the organization.
