Good for him to go out a winner in that Grade III, the only one that he won, that disease is so brutal. Hopefully he took advantage of those two months he was retired and enjoyed what he could of it, given the circumstances

Steve,
I've never heard of this trainer,but it's very thoughtful and kind of you to make an effort to cover people a little out of the limelight, and give a nice story about them, you're a class human being.

One of the good guys in the sport.

He was also a legend with first time starters.

RIP, tough way to go. Was he the guy who trained for the people who had silks like the Cubs logo?

Ron and Susie Anson are the owners that had the Cub Silks. They used Alfredo Marquez a lot - but I think got away from him and might have used Matlow some. Not positive on that though.

Matlow had Reraise for his debut race - he beat a MCL field and was sold privately.
