That is a shame. Cloninger rode some nice John Franks-owned horses for Bobby Barnett on the FG/OP/LaD circuit in the 1990s, including JJ's Dream and Mr. Cooperative. Among his major wins for Barnett was aboard Halo American in the 1995 Oaklawn Breeders Cup when he beat Heavenly Prize. He got the return call in the Apple Blossom, when Heavenly Prize turned the tables on Halo America.

Very sad. Thanks Doug for letting everyone know. A real hardscrabble race rider. Rode Rapid Redux in a Thistledown start during the streak. Will pay respects on air.
