Just awful -- rode a bunch for several of my horseman buddies.


Definitely weird to be walking down an Interstate (I hadn't seen that he was "crossing").


Car trouble, perhaps?

He rode in the Derby twice. 15th in wins at Churchill Downs and he was only 34. Strange circumstances. He was crossing I64 on foot.
Wierd, I wondered what was going on over there last nigh, when we passed by there going eastbound on 64. I could see blue flashing lights on the other side of the barricade, then when we got a little further up i could see in the rear view mirror what looked like 10 police cars blocking the interstate and a ton of backed up traffic. Not sure where he was trying to go with that barrier in place.

The article on WDRB says they don't know of a car anywhere around so I don't know.

It looks like he lives near there. Probably walking home from somewhere and trying to take a “short cut”. Very sad and unfortunate.

He was coming up as my cousin's career was winding down, and by all accounts was just a great guy to be around. Sad news.
