@GaryContessa @EJXD2 If he had to report to that many people he wouldn't be a commissioner but just another figurehead.

Playing sandlot ball a Cadillac convertible would stop & Minnie Minosa would appear to talk to us boys. What a thrill. RIP # 9 Minnie.

@rich_witt1 @goofonroof @warrenthebull My friend would take any edge permissible. He rode to the fine line. No one was ever more competitive

[Harry The Hat Hacek @HarryHacek]

@racehorsereport Another very strong opinion.

[Harry The Hat Hacek @HarryHacek]

@rich_witt1 @goofonroof @warrenthebull Strong finishers? What about Cordero, many top jocks copy him today. My favorite is Ramon Vazquez.

[Harry The Hat Hacek @HarryHacek]

@rich_witt1 No argument there. Along with Jorge Velasquez. They both brought a new style to America.

[Harry The Hat Hacek @HarryHacek]

@goofonroof Bob Ussery and the just deceased Jerry Lambert fit in my mold of jocks that made a difference. Undoubtedly I overlook others.

[Harry The Hat Hacek @HarryHacek]

@goofonroof Another valued opinion. I speak of jocks who rode favorites but would regularly lite the board with seemingly hopeless longshots

[Harry The Hat Hacek @HarryHacek]

@warrenthebull Of course that is his opinion. Time will tell. It's difficult to put such accolades on jockeys so soon.

[Harry The Hat Hacek @HarryHacek]

In my lifetime the jockeys that made the biggest difference have been Sandy Hawley, Pat Valenzuela & Earlie Fires. None were picture pretty

[Harry The Hat Hacek @HarryHacek]

@TonyI_tampa You would think after riding 10-15 yrs. they would know pace. But they don't. It is pitiful what I watch daily.

Out in short sleeves buying a winter coat. Nonetheless I am very anxious to get on the airplane. Hope I see clean snow. Won't complain.

@ILo7veFastHorses @NancyUryHolthus @OaklawnRacing Let's hope the forecast is right & Friday will be your last problem. Oaklawn still rocks!

@AaronGryder And you won 3500 more across America. Great career!

[Harry The Hat Hacek @HarryHacek]

@gogofan1 He was a great patient rider. Easy on horses. Never overly aggressive.

[Harry The Hat Hacek @HarryHacek]

@RobertYates1982I'm in the minority. I never question Wayne Lukas. He's run 3 yr. old fillies against the boys before with success.

[Harry The Hat Hacek @HarryHacek]

@gogofan1 @TVGMike @MattCTVG @TomTVG @BritneyEurton Sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. He was a good & no nonsense man.

[Harry The Hat Hacek @HarryHacek]

Why aren't I surprise Kent Desormeaux quit following me since I told him I've watched "old guys" (his words) like him come & go? No BS here!

I love the Midwest where the friendly peoples' homes are protected by a scantly garden fence and a 12 gauge shotgun.
