Surgery went great. I feel way better than when I walked in here this morning. Thank you so much for the prayers and well wishes. ๐๐ผ๐๐ผโฅ๏ธ
On the Eve of Thanksgiving let me just say how thankful I am to everyone in my life and career that has made it so amazing. No one has more to be thankful for than myself! Itโs been a good run, better than I ever could have imagined. Thank you! ๐๐ผ๐๐ปโฅ๏ธ
A few years ago Mike and I were cheering for a Triple Crown with Chrome. It didnโt happen and we had to wait a few more years. This year Mike is riding for the Triple Crown! Wishing him all the racing luck in the world! Love you brother. ๐๐ผ๐๐ป๐ช๐ผ

IMO. Saez should be held blameless. Horse appears to shy from the glare off lights on water puddle on inside rail causing him to shift to right lead causing him to duck out. Not jocks fault
Found this photo and had to share. It was my first race back after 7 years off. This is in the paddock at Santa Anita. Maddie had never seen me race before this day!
How lucky is my wife at our anniversary dinner... she gets two of me not just one! Itโs her lucky day ๐๐Pretty cool as we met on Seabiscuit and here we are with me as George Woolf years later โค๏ธ๐

I just found out I had a false positive for Coronavirus. Two test results received today showed I am negative to all and not a carrier. Sorry for all my friends and coleagues for the inconvenience of you testing as well and the fear that was created. Our prayers worked.
My brother Scottโs career ended last week. It was caused by a simple mistake that was not intentional. He had an unbelievable career and he is my hero. There is no room out on track for callous riding. Dangerous enough for horse and rider. Game of inches. Keep it in the room!
Itโs with disappointment that after a phone call today from executives

My thoughts on Horse of the Year... hands down Jusitfy. Accelerate well worthy of Horse of the Year in any other year. A triple Crown Winner? Come on!!! No comparison! Congrats to both horse on an amazing year! ๐๐ป
Why is everyone freaking out about Lasix. Not allowed on raceday in any other major racing country. Are we hiding something? Trainers and owners love lasix. Why? If a horse bleeds. Back off!
20yrs ago I got beat going for the Triple Crown. the next year I beat my friend who was going for the Triple Crown. Hereโs hoping that come Sunday our good friend Mike Smith only has a win video to watch!!! Best of racing luck to you this weeeknd! We will be cheering you home!!!
I love everything about

Watch CBS evening news. Donโt know how much time Iโll have but I will explain best I can changes need to be made when the best horse wins. Already in the works. Maximum Security will change America racing forever for the better. Rules will change. He won the Derby. Rule change!
She gave me everything she had that day to beat the Great Songbird. Funnest race I rode in my life. I should have retired that day. Would have been perfect ending.
Now it is clear. War Of Will Real deal. Maybe he should be going for Triple Crown. Interference justified. Got a feeling mr Barber will take on the 5million$ challenge. I would if I had the money.
Drayden Van Dyke will be at Keenland and Churchill for foreseeable future. G Stevens representing .......Finally he can do what he does. Give his all to win ๐just saying........
Thank you to everyone for the kind words! Surgery scheduled for the end of the month. Continuing my role with Red Brand Fence. More news to come within the next week. ๐๐ผ๐๐ป๐๐ผ
Thank you Del Mar for a great send off! Thank you to everyone for your support and kind words! Doctor tomorrow then figuring out the next step. Donโt worry I wonโt be away from the Track. ๐๐ผโฅ๏ธ๐๐ป
Thatโs my voice you hear in the background in the running of the race. I was miked up that day. Not many people have heard it. Pretty cool to relive.
I want to thank the well wishers for there thoughts on my voice yesterday and thank my health care peeps. Just got home from overnight stay treating early pneumonia. ๐๐All good.
Neck surgery will not be happening on the 27th due to an infection. Clearing up the infection up and then surgery will be rescheduled. Hoping it isnโt delayed more than a month. Will know more on Thursday ๐๐ผ๐๐ป๐๐ผ๐ช๐ผ

Surgery looking like the end of January. Staph infection in my arm clearing up. Will know more next Thursday at my follow up. Iโve been in more doctor offices this last month than I have been in my whole life ๐๐
Since everyone was asking how my knees are this weekend I figured Iโd show them my neck which is actually what Iโm currently recovering from. All good. Therapy going well. Thank you Dr. Wang

My daughter Maddie and her good friend Hunter in front of George Woolf at Santa Anita. My wife and I met during the filming of Seabuscuit when I played George, so it holds a special place in my heart. Glad she took time with Hunter to visit!

Happy Fourth of July to everyone! Everyday I thank those who serve, but today always reminds me that freedom isn't free. Thanks to those who fight for our freedom.
Grateful for all the kind words for the great weekend and the three wins yesterday! Thank you to everyone for helping make it possible! Great horses, trainers, owners and barns!๐๐ป๐๐ผ
For precautionary reasons, I took a covid-19 test yesterday and I am pleased to report that the test came back negative. Thank you to those of you that expressed concern.
I could easily get used to this view.

showed me to our office. Iโve never been on this side looking down before ๐๐๐๐ผCatch our shows this weekend!
Brother Scott berry lucky. Helmet did itโs job. Hit top of cross bar and then the ground ctscan negative. Couple stitches released to ride this weekend. Said he knew it was coming before it happened. ๐๐
Just to clarify. I had a collapsed lung in 2003 in Arlington million. Chest tube comprises my left lung. My 3rd bout with pneumonia. I knew and jumped on it early this time. No fun with full blown pneumonia ๐

You were great in that film, but you really showed your acting chops alongside Nick Nolte, Richard Kind and company in HBO's Luck. You did a lot more than stand in the irons, you did an impeccable job showing us a man dealing with addiction.
That was him. That was a couple days before the Preakness and not the first or last time he did that. Only once with me the first time I got on him in the morning. Never again. I got his attention.
