Very true. Talk about sounding well adjusted:
"Horses have given me everything in life, everything good in my life stems from horses,” Migliore said. “The emotion that I feel now is just knowing I won’t get to do it now, and that makes me sad. But I’m also understanding of the fact that my situation is a lot better than a lot of other guys, and I’m sure many people would trade places with me having to make this announcement. The biggest thing I feel is gratitude that I got to live my dream.”
BloodHorse went on:
Migliore said he hadn’t made any decisions as to whether he would pursue a full-time career in the racing industry, but he mentioned Thoroughbred retirement as a charity close to his heart.
“I want to be as big an advocate as I can for retired Thoroughbreds and give back to the horses that have given me so much,” he said. “I want to make sure every horse is given the respect they deserve.”
Amen to that.
