As we did for Steve Dellinger after his untimely passing, and at the perfect suggestion of Hossy, RHT will be memorialized here with the Selections Room rechristened as the 'Joe Silverio Simulcast Center'..

Incredible idea Hoss and thank you Steve for facilitating it! The irony is deep that the room he was told to stay out of will now be named in his honor. Oh so fitting. He's been on the minds of many of us, whether we clashed or agreed with him. Looking forward to being a part of Philcski's group that he reached out to DeRosa for and helping his family realize the type of reach that the highly opinionated cat has!

Wow, how very sad. He was like an institution here, agree or disagree with him the passion was unmistakable always. So young, very very sad news. Prayers to his family. RIP Joey

Late on the news here... absolute shocker to think we won’t see RHT touting the latest Baffert or California 2yo later this year. I truly mean that - the passion he had for the game was unmatched.

Get them home safe, Joey. Exacta box: Game Winner, Roadster, Improbable
