Was an authentic honor to inform Freddie Head of Goldikova's nod live on air.

Given some of the recent jockey inductions, the ignoring of Perret's merit is an ongoing disgrace.
In 1989-90, I was keeping track of the odds-normalized ROI's of riders in NY and CA, and some in KY. Perret's ROI was solidly over 100% and I was always glad to find him on a horse I was otherwise inclined to bet on.

That's cool about Freddie Head and Goldikova.
