He always would tell me how great Ellis Park was and I used to tease him that the only reason that he liked it was it was always 100 degrees and gave him an excuse to drink more beer. The guy was just a great person. I already miss him.

You were the first person I thought of when I heard the news. I knew you two were good friends.... my condolences for your loss, bud.

I think we should name a 2009 2YO after his legacy.
