Congrats Tony! Had the pleasure to meet him when he rode a couple of horses for DT, what a good guy. Best of luck in your next career.

Tony,

A great pleasure to get to know you through Steve and watch as your career winds down to such amazing numbers. A whole lot of work behind it I'm sure.

Hey...is Tony even on here?

Anyway, a real pro from every angle.

Follow the Mig. You'd make a great pair.

Congratulations, Tony, and best wishes as you move forward.

Thanks, Steve, for bringing Tony's perspective to the show every week. I really get a lot out of those discussions.

Happy I was able to contribute a handful of wins towards 5200. Glad that I got I to know him before he becomes a miserable trainer like the rest of us.

Congratulations Tony. I've enjoyed watching you ride over the years. What a class act you are.

NICE!
