“As @Arlington_Park closes its chapter in American racing history.” Cheers to all the horses and horsemen who have raced with us over the decades in Illinois. And a special toast to the great Chicago racing fans. Have memories to last a lifetime. A final farewell from Arlington.

Some ask why I mention jockeys so often in my race calls. Simple. They are amazing athletes and have my admiration. Horse & Rider. And many I’m lucky to call my friend. Prayers to the family of Jose Luis Flores. A family man doing what he loved. And we loved watching him do.

A 300th career win for @sophiedoyle77 after riding 7yo Illinois-bred veteran D’RAPPER to an 11/1 win in the Iowa Sprint Stakes @prmracing. Last season, rode Street Band to three graded stakes wins including the G.1 Cotilion Stakes at Parx & G.2 @fairgroundsnola Oaks.#HorseRacing

The @fairgroundsnola tote board felt the impact of #HurricaneIda’s damaging winds. Thanks to Al Stall, Jr. for sharing the image with me. #NOLA

They can tear down the bricks and mortar of a great race course, with nearly 100 years of history, but can never destroy a Million memories for #HorseRacing fans around the World. #Chicago #Illinois #ArlingtonPark 🏇

Pausing for a moment on this Caesars Stakes Day @HSIndyRacing to remember a talented rider and friend Miguel Mena. Miggy had ridden in the Caesars Stakes five times (tied for most) and won it in 2009 on Driving Snow. In all our thoughts today.

We move forward in racing. Meet to Meet. Track to Track. Pausing on #LaDerby week to remember Miguel Mena. Only three years ago this photo. Among those riding @fairgroundsnola and meeting up post races. We talked racing. We celebrated. We laughed. We always remember you Miggy!
