i just spent the whole weekend with Sharon and Ramon. we went back and forth to the track and had breakfast and dinner together. i can see why everyone loves him. he is one classy well spoken person.i told him not to come back and ride horses, but somehow i feel he is not going to listen to me.

he is nothing short of being a great role model, he impressed me like no other jockey that i have ever known.

You think he'll be back?? I thought he was finished, doctors orders?

If the fire burns in someone, its really hard to put it out...even at great risk.

An especially humble man, even when so hugely admired and cared for by so many. Its a great part of what makes him so special. He and his wife, Sharon, are a beautiful couple!

Granted there is stiff competition, but this one gets my vote for worst BC related thread in Cyberspace.

I watched the video of the interview Migliore did with Ramone. It was a good interview but you could see he wasn't done. I would like to see him come back but not if it would be detrimental to his health. I was thinking of him during the BC and how it must be eating away at him to not be out there. He was all class during the interview.

I have a picture of him on Gio Ponte that is locked up on a hard drive from an old computer. It's up close as he was coming out the end of the tunnel during a race the day of the 2009 or 2010 Belmont. It's a great shot. If I can get it off the hard drive I'll post it. I think he might like to have it. It's more of him than the horse but you can see the horses name on the silks.

His brain injury was traumatic , much more severe than he thought . Doctors wanted him to retire . Should he try to come back and risk even a minor injury . Sad , but IMO no !

I saw Ramon and his wife getting interviewed at SA during BC. Mike Smith was with them too. Little Mike galloped by and Mike S. said something like "This must be a sign". Mike was in the middle of telling Ramon that he is going to ride Little Mike just like he did with his same hand movements.
