I will not be calling races @turf_paradise today. Overnight, Ricky Blind Dog took an unexpected turn for the worse and at 10am MST he will cross the rainbow bridge. For a little blind dog, he made one helluva difference. God Bless you, Ricky. My heart is broken.

- The passing of Cody Dorman reminds me life is not about what we achieve, it is about what we overcome. The bond between Cody and Cody's Wish remains unbroken. The tears of joy & the tears of sorrow, all pay tribute to the eternal love between a young man and a horse. RIP, Cody.We are all better for knowing Cody Dorman and Cody’s Wish. Cody’s Wish fought all the way to the finish in his career finale and defended his Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile title. #BC23 #BreedersCup
00:00 - I am so sorry for all the horsemen in AZ and all the horseplayers in AZ and around the country who enjoyed playing the track. Thank you all. I am also sorry I could not do more than I did to save it! @TVG @raypaulick @paulickreport @DailyRacingForm
- Replying to @sharrond62 @EnglandFootball and 2 othersStanding with you, Sharron. Just terrible.
- Over 500 replies across various platforms to the passing of Ricky Blind Dog. I cannot respond to all of them but thank you so much. An amazing comfort. If you knew RBD - he led his life with #nofear. A lesson for us all. Even his littermate brother, Toby posed for a rare photo!
- Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has just passed away. She was a huge fan of horse racing the world over and one of the best advocates for the sport in the modern age.
- What the hell? How now am I supposed to pair it with my National Front Forever and Enoch Was Right Millwall Edition from 1984?
- Great potential news for Turf Paradise! Let us do what we can to support our potential new owners and build a solid future for Arizona racing!
- Thanks to everyone @TVG and to the horseplayers around America for your kind comments about my race calls, today. I really appreciate it and am happy I can do a good job for all of you! Cheers!
- Dreams can come true. I rebuilt my life from ground zero. 4 years ago I called races 12 days per year. Now I call races 175 days per year and have a F/T writing job. It has not been easy. Grateful to my friend, @AnnouncerPete for getting me started on the right track! #gratitutde
- Big News! Dani Jackson @DaniVJackson will be @turf_paradise calling races for me on opening day and sharing duties with me the following week. I know Dani has lots of fans in the US as she is an excellent caller! Welcome back, Dani! @FanDuel_Racing @jmpaquette @DailyRacingForm
- Only two callers in the country calling today are @jmpaquette and I. We have very different calling styles but let's see if we can bring home the end of the year in style. Good luck with your calls, today, Jessica!
- You have got to work every day on improving your race calls. Even on my off days, I do vocal exercises and prep for the next day. Tomorrow, for example, I will get up early and call the jumps races from the UK to prep for @JumpingwithNSA races. #dedication #nevergiveup #ambition
