My sweet old girl Lilah is struggling. I’ve had to carry her outside all day. We spent some time today at the vet. She’s still eating and rallies with energy at times. This beautiful little girl helped me recover from a career ending injury. I love her so much.

I like interacting on Twitter but it gets tiresome when people are so negative. I left home at 14, worked my ass off and created the life I have. If you don’t respect me or what I’ve done, don’t follow me, we should uplift each other. There is no need to tear down any one else.

I grew up in Brooklyn with no connection to horse racing but I had a decent career as a jockey. Now I get paid to talk on tv even though I only have an 8th grade education. Never let anyone tell you what you’re capable of. You and only you define you and your future.

I hate that the game I love is under such harsh attack. It’s our own fault being reactive not proactive.There are so many people that love and are dedicated to the horses. I love racing I love horses more. We need to do better on so many fronts. I care, do you?

Being a jockey is a tough lonely life. I remember the days on my cot in a room at the track alone with all my self doubt. When you’re losing you feel like your letting everyone down and you withdraw more,add in the pressure of making weight. It’s hard. RiP Avery Whisman

As a former rider it is offensive to me to watch a rider be so reckless as to cause a spill. Injured horses and riders is unacceptable because of one individuals blatant disregard for the rules. What Paco Lopez did in the FOY is inexcusable. I’m disgusted watching this.

For everyone that is disgruntled or upset with results of race 7 at Saratoga, I understand if the no contest cost you money but I’d rather that than the loss of life human or equine. Our outriders are the best in the world and I’d prefer they err on the side of caution.

Had an incredible dinner with my oldest brother at Solevo a few tears were shed talking about our parents and their passing. @paulloduca16 was incredible coming by to talk to all of us. I’m privileged to call Paul a friend. Saratoga is the most amazing place. Blessed to be here.

12 years ago today I rode my 4450 winner and the last one of my career. Hard to believe it’s been 12 years already. Time truly flies.

I don’t care what political party you support,our children should be able to go to school and feel safe.The innocence of childhood should not be shattered by the loss of classmates or ended by a shooters bullet. It’s too much,way past time to do the right thing for our children.

14 years old,went to Belmont for my big audition. Galloped 1 for Roger Laurin. Eddie Sweat was the groom. The kindest person, knew I was nervous. Looked up at me and said “you got this little jock” can never overstate how much that meant to me. Be that for someone if you can.

We’ve had a wonderful day celebrating Isabella Roses baptism. My beautiful daughter ⁦ @gabriellemig ⁩ (aka) the godmother holding the youngest member of our family. I’m so happy right now my heart could burst.

Took a long reflective walk around Belmont park tonight. As a boy I wanted to be a part of this incredible place. I was told why I couldn’t make it,I was too big it was too tough etc.The only thing I heard was the burning desire in my heart. Believe in yourself and work hard.
