I echo what others have said--he is a true class act and will always remain one of my favorite jockeys of all time. Very sad to see him retire.
 Here he is on Little Mike in the paddock before they won the Arlington Million last year:

Sad news indeed. Always knew when I bet a horse with him aboard I would get a great ride. Hope the best for a full recovery. Will be missed.

Sad news indeed....I would only repeat the words others have posted, only regret is that I never got to see him ride "live". My best wishes for a healthy recovery, true champion.
 Great photos as always Rev...

Very sad news, hopefully he will recover enough to stay in the industry in another position, guy is the most talented jockey I've seen in the last few years and a great guy by all accounts. Good luck in your future career Ramon!

When Battle Won was getting ready for the CD Hdcp in 2005 the owner wanted to change riders. Being on Derby Day there was of course a lot of options. Despite my lack of knowledge of advanced stats I thought that Ramon would be a good fit. He rode a flawless race and what impressed me the most was despite him not riding on that circuit he had his agent get my address and a few weeks later a very generous check for the groom, ex rider and assistants was in the mailbox. He isn't the only jockey to do this but the amount was very generous and these were people that he didn't even know other than meeting them for a few brief seconds in the paddock before the race.
He was a genuine guy in a business full of phonies.
