Nice write up in the New York Times, of all places.

He's had a brilliantly planned career. Used to like watching him ride at Delaware Park. In the media, his comments are always intelligent, thoughtful and even eloquent. Should get a job as a commentator when he hangs up the saddle.

Personally not a fan of Ramon, ever since his ride on ScrappyT in The Preakness, I still believe he had the race won, until He blew The turn, If he didn't blow the turn Afleet Alex would have never caught him, and I would have cashed a 100 double with Eddington, that double would have paid 735.00 for a 2 dollar bet, and I had a 100 double riding on that. Sorry no fan here.................

Loved him back in Del bout 10 years ago...a must use in ex and tris...Never could understand the heat he took from players at other sites for 'poor' rides..when he didn't win every race....one of the best..
