Very sad news that Equestrian Legend Rodney Jenkins passed last night at 80. Perhaps the greatest natural horseman America has produced, he dominated the show ring for decades before turning to Thoroughbreds where he authored equal success. Sympathies to his many friends and admirers..

Listening to interesting convos re: human Eclipse Awards. Given there are no set criteria or ‘rules’ pertaining to definition of ‘trainer/jockey’ of the year, it’s to me, arrogant to assume any one method is ‘the right’ way. There may be some wrong ways, but no 1 right answer most of the time.
