RIP Mr. Jackson you were a class person and great for the game.

I'll raise a glass too...the man was great for racing and had the courage to say what was on his mind, and demand racing clean up it's act...to say he'll be missed is an understatement. He was a man of vision.

I feel very sad that he wasn't able to stay here long enough to see Rachel's Curlin foal...maybe he will be there, a pale presence in the stall, when Rachel foals.

My sympathy goes to his family and close friends...no dout Mr. Jackson saw the bright light ahead and walked to it with a smile on his face.

Rest in peace, Mr. Jackson

R.I.P and condolences to his family and friends.

I did not know he was the "Jackson" in the Kendall-Jackson winery and had his Chardonnay on my 50th bday couple of months back. NICE wine man!

Tu Salute Jess and God Bless

My deepest sympathy goes out to the loved ones of Mr Jackson. We lost a great leader and voice of the sport. I believe he always did right by his horses for their well being and how lucky we we were to get to enjoy them.
He will surely be missed Rest In Peace !

Thoroughbred Racing is a bit smaller with the passing of this Icon of Sportsmanship... A True Horseman. Thank You For The Memories.
