Richie:

I am so incredibly sorry to hear about the passing of your dear friend "THE HAT". God Bless he and his family. Please extend my warmest wishes and tell his family that they are in my thoughts and prayers.

Through your postings, although I never met "THE HAT" I feel like I had, and not only was/is he a Legend in the sport of horse racing, he sounds like he was an even more incredible human being.

God Bless "THE HAT" and his family.

All the BEST Always;

Mike (Vinnie)
