What can I say about a man for whom even the adjective "legendary" feels inadequate? Having only read about him and listened to him, I am envious of those of you who truly knew him. His was a life well lived. Bravo, Mr. Nerud.

Bloodhorse | Steve Haskin > The Legacy of John Nerud
Quote:
When a 102-year-old person dies it shouldn’t come as a shock. But John Nerud was no ordinary person, and it is still difficult to believe he is gone. Although his body steadily deteriorated over the past couple of years, his mind refused to follow and he still was looking for ways to improve the sport, NYRA, and the Breeders’ Cup right up until his final breath.
