Good luck to one of my longtime favs, Jose Santos. "The pinniest pinhead of all. The pinhead of all pinheads"

Ha ha, couldn't resist that quote from P.G. Johnson in Joe McGinniss' book "The Big Horse". Its a great read.

Enjoy your retirement!

The one Santos ride I will never forget was his 1988 United Nations Handicap at Atlantic City Racecourse on Manila. Some how or another he got through a hole on the hedge that I don't think anyone else could have gotten thorugh. It was truly amazing!


My second favorite Santos memory was a picture of his wife (ugh I mean him and his wife), in the SI swimsuit edition in 2003.


Thanks for all of the memories.
