He was one of the top trainers in the history of racing. He was also a nice guy. It’s a very sad day for the Sport of Kings.
I had the pleasure of meeting him after the 1995 derby and his win with Thunder Gulch. He couldn’t have been more pleasant, just a truly nice guy. When I shook his hand I remember thinking he had just been holding the derby trophy.

When we had our annual Derby rainout/cookout I saw a little filly in the fifth race that he trained, and going off at about 5-1 odds, I placed a bet for Grammy and she played on that money for the rest of the day.
I don't gamble as a rule, but when I did DWL was not really a bet, it was more of a lock.
May he find rest in the arms of his maker...
There will never be another like him...and sad is the world for that fact...
