I went from a barber to cattleman, out of cattle into horses. The rest is history.

We'd have him here for two or three weeks. He always ate better when I went out there with him.

That was the most money we had ever seen in this house.

He was a big long-legged black animal. As he got bigger that ankle blended in to his size and it wasn't all that noticeable.

He stepped in hole as a baby. I ran cold water on it out of the well, but it never did go down.

We lost a friend, almost a person. He has helped make the track as popular as he is -- not only in Louisiana, but Texas people, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Mississippi. We want to name a race after him and we want to bury him on the track.
