He was indefatigably cheerful. He was very gracious in defeat. |
Not only was Laffit one of the greatest jockeys of all time, he was and is immensely popular with our fans. This is a day he and his fans richly deserve, and we're thrilled to be a part of it. |
We are pleased and honored to partner with Mr. Stone, the jockeys and the American Red Cross for such a worthy cause. One hundred percent of the money raised will go to the American Red Cross Hurricane Katrina relief fund. |
We want to sincerely thank the public for their generosity, and we would like to acknowledge Fred Stone, who put a tremendous amount of work into this project. Additionally, we'd like to thank all the jockeys who were so generous with their time and effort. |
