Such a great man. The strength of Maryland racing for decades. Also won five Derbys as an agent for Bill Hartack.

Once called Bob Brennan of Garden State Park a " snake oil salesman" when Spend a Buck skipped the Preakness to run in the Jersey Derby. The Triple Crown bonus started the very next year.

Racing lost a great friend.

RIP
