People have said that Mr. Migliore should be the czar of racing, the face of racing... that he should be the representative of the sport.
THE representative of the sport.
I agree, of course.
Even though I've only followed the game since 2004 he has always been the good guy, the one with class and grace... soft-spoken, literate and my highest complement... a gentleman and a scholar.
(That he is a phenomenal rider, obviously, goes without saying).
This? This just solidifies that thought.
I don't know how practical this idea of his is... I've never been the type to have an idea and think of how to actually put it in motion so I'm just not sure BUT BUT BUT you can feel everything he says through his words so now I'm thinking not only should he be the face of racing but the representative of a dignified retirement for our friends as well.
People like me do the little we can when we can. We know full well it is nowhere near enough but I guess collectively we think that if more and more people would just do a little.....
Someone like The Mig would be so good for - not just the whole of racing but, individually, for the horses. For bringing attention to things like this with compassion and new ideas... for showing the haters like PETA that no we do look after our own.
We take care of them, of all of them, with dignity once their careers are over.
That is something we need to be able to say so for his suggestion and his heart I (once again) applaud The Mig and hope that he keeps speaking out and that those words are taken into account by others who can set wheels in motion and make good ideas a reality cause man Hotstuff deserves so much better.
They all do.
