This track will always take my breath away. @racingwmnsummit

At 102 years old, I’ve started my daily push-ups again.

Never leave the house without a Santa Anita cap!

This is 102. #BirthdayBoy

A very sad day. I had the honor of meeting Queen Elizabeth (Princess at the time) decades ago while I was riding horses in England. RIP 🙏

Congratulations!

Congratulations to Royal Ship @Fox_Hill_Farm @mikeesmith10 @MandellaGary , from the John Shear Mile to the prestigious San Diego Handicap 😊

Question time! What has been your favorite venue for the Breeders' Cup? @keenelandracing 🌳 @TheNYRA 🏙️ @ChurchillDowns 🏆 @DelMarRacing 🌊 @santaanitapark ⛰️ @GulfstreamPark 🌴 Another Track 🏇 #WorldEmojiDay

I’m 101 1/2 today. The 1/2 years are a big deal at this age. :)

A continued blessing to celebrate Fathers Day with @SApaddock at the young age of 101 1/2.

@DRFPrivman I would vote for Kona Gold to be in the HOF.

I'm stunned and amazed that Kona Gold continues to fall short for HOF. Seriously, would love to have a civil discourse on this forum with someone who votes for the HOF and left him off ballot. Please explain the rationale. I'll politely reply with reasons why he should be in.

Big congratulations to the winning connections of Royal Ship. @Fox_Hill_Farm @mikeesmith10 Richard Mandella @MandellaGary

Thank you @santaanitapark, @zoecadman, Mike Willman, @FrankMirahmadi, Jay Cohen, and so many friends for a wonderful 101st birthday.

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

I’m thankful to still be alive and enjoy In N Out Double-Doubles. 🍔 Happy Thanksgiving everyone! ❤️ #100

Thank you so much to the @NTWAB for the prestigious honor of being the recipient of the 2021 Mr. Fitz award. Congratulations to all the winners, Dan Smith, Lenny Schulman and @Steve_Byk. And thank you @JayHovdey, @Peterlurievo, @SaratogaTL and @MandellaGary.

This was even before my time. :)

Thank you @santaanitapark for everything. You are and will always be The Great Race Place.

Wow! Incredible! Speechless!
