Hands down my favorite picture of my Father. So many great stories from his time riding in Tijuana at the age of 15 in 1945. Not to mention he was leading rider there that season. I Miss him every second of every day.
Thanks to

Brandon Matthews was visibly upset when someone yelled during a missed putt, knocking him out of contention for a spot in The Open.
When he found out the fan has Down syndrome and lost control of his emotions, Matthews only cared about one thing — making sure he was OK 👏

The Kentucky stewards are very consistent. That type of infraction would have warranted a DQ in any race, including the Derby. The people that are seemingly stunned by a horse coming out 4 paths and causing two horses to steady sort of blow my mind. The right call was made.

It was a great pleasure of mine to be able to spend an afternoon with Leslie’s Lady and the Mitchell Family back in ‘18. She will forever be remembered as one of the most important broodmares of all time in this great sport. Thank you. RIP
