I will never forget the day my high school choir was at state in HOT Springs Ar when A friend of mine and I met two young men. We walked and talked for a few hours and this one super nice young man explained to me he was in HS actually training to be a horse jockey!.. Since I loved horses and grew up around them I was very taken back by this boy!.. We exchanged ph numbers but never saw or spoke again after that nightll!..Later in life I was married w two children and will never forget hearing about the results of a horse race in HOT Springs where they said Pat Day was the winning jockey that day .. Oh My !..It IS a small world isn't it??..
Ridden to the Breeder's Cup winners circles by Pat Day , that is.Dance Smartly became Champion 3 yr. old filly in 1991. Sky Classic older Turf Male, 1992. Wow..what a ride for Pat Day and all of us Samson Farm Stables Crew in Ocala, FL. Those bonuses paid my college tuition at the University of Florida (graduated in '94, highest honors). Thank you Pat Day. and praise our Lord for keeping you in the game for so many years.
Dance Smartly, Sky Classic , the two champions that put bonuses in my paycheck as a morning rider for SamSon Farms Racing were both ridden to the breeder's Cup winner's circle in 1991-2. Want to find a class act every day, day after day on the track...find Pat Day. What a true blessing to the thoroughbred racing industry. AMEN.

He really gets a bad rap. Although he is undoubtedly a great jockey, he took a beating for the rides he gave Easy Goer. Even from his first race. Of course, no one said anything in his devastating wins, but he was crucified when the horse lost. To many fans, Easy Goer should never have lost a race and blamed Day for those losses. He may not have been the right jockey for EG, but he did win five consecutive Grade I's with him as 3 year old and no horse has done that since. That Gotham Stakes he mentions still remains the most prodigious run by a racehorse I've ever seen.
John Black It was all done so ILLEGALLY by ss (the criminal cheater veterinarian Alex Harthill of the drug-reliant ss admitted to illegally administering illegal performance enhancing drugs to ss) which certainly proves "That the drug-free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was the superior, better horse than the drug-reliant & criminal juicer cheater veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant ss is officially as clear as day." It means as much or as little as all the scoreboards reading Noor 4, Citation 1; Beau Purple 3, Kelso 1; Cabrini Green 4, John Henry 0; Darby Creek Road 3, John Henry 0; Gallant Bloom 4, Shuvee 1; Akureyri 3, Pleasant Colony 1; Big Spruce 2, Forego 1; Damascus 2, Dr Fager 2; Formal Gold 4, Skip Away 2; Billy Kelly 8, Sir Barton 4; Star of Cozzene 3, Kotashaan 1; Summer Squall 4, Unbridled 2; & an endless amount more. In the Test of the Champion drug-free Belmont Stakes Easy Goer killed ss; like drug-free wheat separating from drugged chaff, the drug-free cream rose to the top. Easy Goer ran drug-free in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs, which banned all performance enhancing drugs; while the drug-reliant & criminal juicer cheater veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant ss got exposed badly & romped when he was forced to run drug-free with no-drugs at all. The great drug-free Hall of Fame champion Easy Goer showed the world how to obliterate the drug-reliant ss. The litmus test of a champion is running & winning drug-free without any performance enhancing drugs; & during that era New York was the only state in the entire country that banned all drugs. Plus, as importantly, New York banned & didn't allow the criminal juicer cheater veterinarian of ss Alex Harthill [arrested an endless amount of times for illegally doping/juicing an endless amount of horses] to perform his magic & juice the drug-reliant & criminal juicer doper veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant ss. During that era, it was a huge credit to NY [& the rest of the whole world] that the endless amount of their championship G1 races stood as humongous, gigantic obstacles to drug-dependent horses like ss; & these horses, like ss & many others, got exposed badly when they were forced to run drug-free with no-drugs at all. ONLY no-drugs drug-free races were/are true championship races. Only the drug-free no-drugs races could/can be called championship races. No-drug races kept/keep the outcomes crystal clear. No-drug races are the only true tests of champions. That is integrity, honesty, fair play & complete fairness for all. In the drug-free EG's few very slim losses by the narrowest of margins to the drug-reliant ss, ss needed all of his performance enhancing drugs administered to him & still only beat him by the slimmest of margins. Plus, The drug-free Easy Goer won G1 races at 7f, 1 mile, 9f, 10f & 12f drug-free with much less time & rest between races & ran many more races at more fluctuating, different distances in faster times with far superior speed figures & performance ratings; while the drug-reliant ss only won G1 races at 9f to 10f with his ped drugs & much more time & rest between races & ran far less races. And most importantly, Alex Harthill confessed to illegally giving illicit, illegal performance enhancing drugs to ss. I quote the DRF for the factual truths: "Harthill, toward the end of his life, was BOLD ENOUGH to tell Jay Hovdey of the Daily Racing Form how he illegally gave numerous horses (including Clenbuterol to SS) illegal drugs. Sunday Silence's veterinarian Alex Harthill ADMITTED illegally breaking the laws in enhancing his horses performances. In DRF articles in recent years & in the last few years of his life, SSilence's vet Alex Harthill ADMITTED to illegally using the immensely effective performance enhancing bronchodilator clenbuterol regularly in the 1980's 15 years before it was approved by the FDA on his horses, INCLUDING using it on sunday silence. SS's vet Alex Harthill introduced the incredibly effective performance enhancing bronchodilator Clenbuterol in the 1980's & illegally administered it to Sunday Silence, who benefited immeasurably by its immensely effective performance enhancing effects. The drug Clenbuterol has a similar effect on the body as epinephrine & amphetamines by increasing the production of epinephrine & noradrenaline & thus significantly enhancing performance; clenbuterol also thins blood & widens the vessels that carry oxygen, so the volume of oxygen in the blood increases & thus significantly increases energy & thus significantly enhances performance; plus clenbuterol dramatically reduces body fat by causing rapid fat burning. The drug Clenbuterol performed miracles for horses who made inexplicable improvements with major enhancements in performance. Some of Harthill's other favorite magic making performance enhancing drugs were Etorphine (infinitely more powerful than the aspirin-like bute), Banamine (5 times more powerful than the aspirin-like bute) & Sublimaze. The drugs Etorphine & Sublimaze are drugs that give horses such a sense of euphoria & well-being that they feel like they don’t have legs. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration filed suit against Alex Harthill on 102 charges of possessing & using unusual quantities of controlled drugs, such as the powerful performance enhancing bronchodilator Clenbuterol, powerful steroids, loop diuretics, extremely powerful painkillers & very strong amphetamines, etc. Alex Harthill & raceday performance enhancing drugs have led to the destruction of integrity in North American racing. Harthill was at the vanguard of giving drugs to horses that were used to vastly enhance their performances, & they were remarkably effective turning good horses into great horses, bad horses into good horses, slower horses into faster horses, horses with no business winning doing so, & causing horses to run far over their heads. Harthill was a vet who had stolen a 30 length lead in the race to discover drugs that would significantly move up racehorses, & Harthill had no hesitancy in using whatever was available. Harthill was a magic man vet practicing the dark arts of racehorse manipulation. Harthill was arrested many times (Kentucky, Illinois, Louisiana, NY,etc) for tampering, bribery & doping horses with drugs. The drugs were & are so potent that their use or nonuse dramatically alters horse's performances (including SS). Sunday Silence's vet Alex Harthill did more cheating with drugs to win horse races than any vet in history." Besides Harthill admitting it to the DRF, there is the CERTAINTY of MOUNDS of more evidence regarding Harthill's illegalities. Truth.
That's pretty neat. I would have a million questions for him. He got to ride probably the second greatest horse of the past 35 years. Had it not been in for few questionable decisions, Easy Goer would gone down as one of top ten horses ever. Hindsight is 20/20. No one is perfect, but he took those losses hard because he knew he had the better horse. It happens. That's why they race them.
John Black Che is very outstanding the horses he road are beautiful and awsome horses to ride without the horse he road he wouldn't have won but very proud of what he has become
