I hope he retires. And that's not out of meanness. He really needs to call it a career for the sake of his family. Nice guys tend to get effed over in the worst ways and he's tempting fate by coming back from that surgery.

One of the great segments on ATR. Pure emotion coming thru the satellite radio. Jockey colonies across the land could use more guys like the Mig.
Mig, I want you to know we had a horse race against one that you rode in the Lone Star Derby 2 years ago. Your horse was Leonides. Entering the top of the stretch, our horse was second and you were 3rd. By mid stretch a hole opened up and you hit it within a half second. It was such a cerebral move. It made the difference in you finishing 2nd and us 4th. You will leap this hurdle as you have always done in the past. Great luck with the surgery and your recovery!

Can't the racing gods cut this guy a break?!~ Jeez, what a bummer.
You're really a class act, Mig. Bailey says you're one of the best, and he should know. I hope the fates smile down on you sometime soon.

That sucks, best of luck. I'd be sure to get 2nd, 3rd , and 4th opinions before having 4 vertebrae in my neck fused.

Mig was on ATR from 5:05-5:35 explaining the situation and taking calls including one from Tom Durkin. He wants to get healthy first and then evaluate, but talks like he fully expects to ride again.
Archives will be up in the next 30 min. (7:30 or so) HERE... 24/7 stream rolling HERE and will feature his visits at about 8:10p, 11:10p. 2:10a, etc.

agree 100%. the phrase class act gets thrown around a lot, but at least with the mig it is well deserved.
best of luck in recovery and whatever the future holds. |

Mig is very well spoken as I've heard him in a few TV and radio segments. If he doesn't come back to racing I think TV could be an option for him. Either way I hope he gets better soon. He's been an asset to the sport.
