It was a very emotional scene.

Very mixed feelings here... I can't imagine how hard this is for him but I'm glad in the sense that all of you are.

Jockeys get bashed here and on other forums all the time.

The Mig though? I don't recall seeing critcism. I'm sure it exists somewhere but it ain't here.

A gentleman, a decent type, one with heart, one who clearly loves the horses and hey... I'll always love him for Desert Code!

Happy retirement Mig... on to even better things.

When it gets tough and you really miss flying down the stretch? Maybe remember that collective sigh of relief from your hundreds of thousands of fans (and your family... I just didn't want to be presumpteous by saying that).

THANK YOU.

You are the face of racing... everything that's right about the sport.

Feel better.

Sorry to see one of the best have to retire. Thanks for what you've done for this great sport. Good luck with whatever you choose to do in the future.

It was a nice tribute on ATR Steve, I listened to most of the interview. I'm not sure if it was mentioned but perhaps in the future, as a fan I would have loved to hear some stories of favorite horses he once rode. Ie. Hidden Lake, Albert The Great(I believe he rode atleast once, or betting on him I seem to remember this)Crafty Friend for Kimmel, and he worked Talkin Man for Attfield once I recall.

I've always felt that Steve needed a co-host. Richie would be perfect.


Of course, it would help if Sirius could turn a profit. Without that it seems that a co-host would be an impossibility.
