Default Terrific piece on Tony Black in the Philly papers

Jockey, 61, wants one last victory
http://articles.philly.com/2013-02-2...der-smart-tori

Really nice feature on the ageless wonder at Philly.com. I'm afraid that I'm responsible for letting him know how close he was to 5,200 a couple of years ago, which became the number he decided he wanted to reach before leaving the jock's room for good. I treasure the wins Dee Tee has, but the photo of Tony with Redboard King particularly means a lot to me. He's an authentic sports legend in Philadelphia/South Jersey and will leave the jockey ranks as on of the winningest riders in the game's history.
