Rick Violette

As another commentator on The Paulick Report said, “We keep losing the good ones.”
He was class through and through, and did so much behind the scenes for New York horsemen and women.
Very sad.

Great man. Racing, horses, his employees, his coworkers lost a treasured soul. I hope Diversify can continue to go on and do him proud

He was an aquaintence of mine during my years at the track. One of the good guys for sure, in so many ways.
