Commandment had every reason to lose this Florida Derby. He lost position early behind a slow pace and still ran them all down. What a horse! Gallant effort from The Puma, who proves that he’s the real deal. Chief Wallabee is in the Derby while Nearly may be left out.

Met Tom at Planet Fitness by Churchill Downs a couple years back. Was incredibly generous with his time, and always chatted with me at the track whether that was at Churchill or Saratoga. Wish you well in your future endeavors!

Happy for my guy! @RealKinnon

Horse racing has been a part of my life since my early teens and in 1987 I had the privilege of saddling my first winner as a trainer. Nearly 40 years later, I look back on my career with pride and gratitude. The countless memories, friendships, and opportunities that horse racing gave me will always be a part of who I am.

None of my success as a trainer would’ve been possible without the people that I work with, both past and present.

I’m especially appreciative of the owners that put their trust in me. Thank you doesn’t come close to expressing my gratitude.

I’m proud to share that my assistant Kinnon Larose (@RealKinnon) will be taking the reins and become the trainer of record for the barn. He deserves it. I’ve watched him grow into an incredibly talented horseman as he’s worked by my side for the last six years. I will get as much joy watching Kinnon win races as I would if I were the trainer.

To the entire racing community, thank you for decades of unforgettable memories and the joy it has brought me, my team, and my family! I’m not going anywhere, just ready to support and watch the next generation lead our industry. With Horsemen like Kinnon, we are in good hands.

Sincerely,
Tom
