Over $63,000,000 in earnings..

Win in 44 straight years..

Tony,

A great pleasure to get to know you through Steve and watch as your career winds down to such amazing numbers. A whole lot of work behind it I'm sure.

Hey...is Tony even on here?

Anyway, a real pro from every angle.

Follow the Mig. You'd make a great pair.

Congratulations, Tony, and best wishes as you move forward.

Thanks, Steve, for bringing Tony's perspective to the show every week. I really get a lot out of those discussions.

Happy I was able to contribute a handful of wins towards 5200. Glad that I got I to know him before he becomes a miserable trainer like the rest of us.

Just saw HRTV program above after being out of the equine loop for the past four days.

Congrats Tony!

Thanks for the great insights over the years. You are a huge reason I have so much respect jocks.
