In your face, Harold!
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.
Real Fan since 1958
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.

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...
One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't utter.
