Charlie Hayward, then the NYRA president and CEO, and Amy Zimmerman, the executive producer at HRTV, had already figured out where Migliore should be headed. Hayward, now the publisher of Thoroughbred Racing Commentary, was moved by the way Migliore handled himself as he announced his retirement.

“Richie stood up with no notes, no nothing, and gave one of the more poignant, well-put-together talks that I’ve ever heard anyone make about his passion for the game, the people, the horses,” Hayward says. “It was just brilliant.”

THE best, most well articulated retirement announcement I've ever heard, in spite of the emotion of the moment.
