All of his replays except for the 6 races (5 of which were wins!) back in the days when he was Comic Strip and trained by Sir Mark Prescott and the 2nd place finish in the Sheema Classic at Nad Al Sheba.

Not sure who all can remember back in the days (probably Kitan?) before Tony Cruz grew a brain (sorry) when he thought it would be a really good idea to have the great Silent Witness live at Sha Tin.

Thank God the the De Silvas made sure he went to Living Legends.

Now I do very much like Tony these days and it is awesome seeing the pics of him visiting with SW. Maybe if he and some of the other trainers were vocal (?)...

I know Dr. Ho's reputation to use a nice word but perhaps if some of the bigshots at the HKJC, at LL, Mr. Moore etc can generate enough outrage here to change his history and get him... somewhere where he deserves to be.

Absolutely disgraceful and maddening.

"dungeon-like"

"unconventional"

"It's a joke, it's disgusting."

not "a conventional retirement"

Here's hoping that Ho gets the message.

This is just a horrible story. I've reported it on our website too, for whatever that's worth. I hope he's able to get the sort of retirement he deserves.

The more publicity the better. You're the best, ed.
