The man who carried me to LAD and introduced me to horse racing, his favorite jockey was EJ, so naturally he became my favorite jockey also. To see EJ bring a 10 or 20-1 horse from the clouds and win a turf route was truly a thing of beauty. Sad to see him go so soon.

Never ignore Tee Joe on sod or mud! Made me many dollars in my youth.

EJ was fan favorite every year signing autographs & taking pictures with folks on Super Derby Day. Hope LaD leaders name La-bred turf race in his memory.

RIP our friend...
