Added context for those not fluent in Freddyish..

Dave Grening piece on Mike Hushion retiring at end of Belmont meet: http://www.drf.com/news/hushion-reti...ining-end-meet

As forthright a man as there is in the sport and a tremendous horseman.

One of the most potent trainers in New York year in, year out, and has overcome a lot. I wish him well in retirement.

Congrats on a great career Mr. Hushion. One of the best of the best!! In my circle we have a big fan of his for obvious reasons, but would always annunciate...I'll take Michael huuuuushion. and more often than not would get the "put a ring around him" as he rolled through the stretch.

Best o' luck in retirement..
