But I’m also understanding of the fact that my situation is a lot better than a lot of other guys, and I’m sure many people would trade places with me having to make this announcement. The biggest thing I feel is gratitude that I got to live my dream.”

BloodHorse went on:
Migliore said he hadn’t made any decisions as to whether he would pursue a full-time career in the racing industry, but he mentioned Thoroughbred retirement as a charity close to his heart.

“I want to be as big an advocate as I can for retired Thoroughbreds and give back to the horses that have given me so much,” he said. “I want to make sure every horse is given the respect they deserve.”

Amen to that.
Mig is the greatest. Best of luck in retirement and the healing process!

That's not bad idea. If not that, i would love to see Mig join Tony Black as a regular contributor to ATR. Not only would they both provide outstanding insight from the riders point of view, but the entertaining stories those guys could tell, would never get old!

CSC,

Thx... Glad you enjoyed it. Will certainly have Mig look back at some of his best rides, and he has done some of that in the past. Wednesday wasn't the time for that.

Coach,

I've thought about that with Mig as well. He's going to get healthy first and foremost and then start considering options. As a sidebar, SiriusXM provides no compensation to me at all. ATR's revenue is derived solely from the advertising I can generate.

Howard needs to retire so they can spread around that money to people like you, somebody that actually brings content to their channels day after day. Yet they'll pay millions to others to do an hour a month

Thanks Steve, Mig is one of the kind, I only know him as a rider which is probably my lost but I can honestly say I have never been dissapointed with any ride he has given me as bettor throughout the years. I don't know how many riders I can say that for, it was a great listen.

Yet they pay Eminem millions and in turn he pays those afternoon dj's to talk instead of play music. No wonder why they are on the verge of bankruptcy.

They also pay Oprah, Martha, Jamie Foxx, Rosie, etc and their shows are complete garbage.

Rich is one of the few people on the track about whom that I have ever heard a hostile word. He is a classy guy who worked extremely hard, both morning and afternoon. Inspite of his many injuries he always fought back.
I'm pretty confident that this decision was extremely hard for him but because I like him very much, I am happy he has made it. I would hate to see him have the decision forced on him by an even more horrible accident.
Richie always made time to speak with fans and to be a great representative of the game.
Richie has many friends and the love of a supportive family and I am sure that with his positive attitude and hard trying that whatever he chooses to do, he will succeed.
