appreciation
A sad day for racing. Couple of things I remember. First, you could tell he was riding a hoss without a program. He had such great form and technique. When he would rear back and give the hoss that one sharp crack of the whip about 40 yards from the wire that so many times spurred him on to victory, it was wonderful to watch. Always would smile at the kids as they went from paddock to track at the spa. He knew how to read a racing form too. Great strategist as a race rider. I never saw him hold a hoss. Maybe if we all send him some good healing vibes, he will ride again. If Red Pollard could do it, maybe Ramon too.
