Jim Tafel, 90

Saddened to hear of passing of Mr. Tafel. The respect and admiration he generated from John Nerud, Carl Nafzger & Ian Wilkes speaks volumes. Will greatly miss the classic yellow and blue jacket.

we had one thing in Common, 2000 Travers was one of the best days of our lives. Mr Mosely introduced me to him. Gotta love a guy who wanted to win the Travers more than anything. Old guys are the best ! Rip Sir.

Sorry to hear of his passing...............had the opportunity to see a nice colt by the name of Metfield get his second win when I lived in Chicago. RIP, sir.
