He was indefatigably cheerful. He was very gracious in defeat.
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.
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.
