I hope he retires. And that's not out of meanness. He really needs to call it a career for the sake of his family. Nice guys tend to get effed over in the worst ways and he's tempting fate by coming back from that surgery.

I just listened to the segment, it was amazing. How classy was Durkin calling in with a great story? Mig is such a class act, and you can't help but pull for a great guy like this to go out on his own terms. All the best to Mig on a speedy recovery.

Another great ATR segment. Mig is a class act. I remember seeing his fall on 1/23 - it was awful, and as awful as it was he still managed to crawl over to his fallen mount and restrain him. Best of luck to Richie with a successful surgery and a speedy recovery. I hope he is able to recover fully to pursue whatever path he chooses.

One of the great segments on ATR. Pure emotion coming thru the satellite radio. Jockey colonies across the land could use more guys like the Mig.
Mig, I want you to know we had a horse race against one that you rode in the Lone Star Derby 2 years ago. Your horse was Leonides. Entering the top of the stretch, our horse was second and you were 3rd. By mid stretch a hole opened up and you hit it within a half second. It was such a cerebral move. It made the difference in you finishing 2nd and us 4th. You will leap this hurdle as you have always done in the past. Great luck with the surgery and your recovery!

Can't the racing gods cut this guy a break?!~ Jeez, what a bummer.
You're really a class act, Mig. Bailey says you're one of the best, and he should know. I hope the fates smile down on you sometime soon.

Mig was on ATR from 5:05-5:35 explaining the situation and taking calls including one from Tom Durkin. He wants to get healthy first and then evaluate, but talks like he fully expects to ride again.
Archives will be up in the next 30 min. (7:30 or so) HERE... 24/7 stream rolling HERE and will feature his visits at about 8:10p, 11:10p. 2:10a, etc.

They don't come any tougher than Richie. Imagine riding, in the winter no less, for two months with a broken neck. It's incredible.
This game is better for having Mig. And, my life is better for having him as a friend. It would be an understatement to say I wish him the best.
