LOSS
Dear Friends,
I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Jack le Goff last week.
He was a good friend throughout all the years of my career and was truly not only one of the greatest trainers and coaches of our time, but absolutely one of the most enduring characters I will never forget.
Jack’s ability to mix incredibly focused work ethic with always that hint of remembering the necessity to have plain old fun is something I always witnessed by that special twinkle in his eye.
May he be thoroughly enjoying all his greatest loves in heaven!
I also was so sad to hear of the tragic death of Dominion, Shelly Francis’ Grand Prix horse. Though I called right away and left a message, I would once again like to convey my heartfelt sorrow to her, the owner, and all who loved and cared for Dominion.

I’d like to think Jack is up there teaching Dominion this morning. There has got to be a Heaven that places us with the horses.

Wow. Should I be alarmed that my fondest memory of Jack was watching him lop the top off a bottle of champagne with his saber while never spilling a drop.
Dear Jack. Thanks for the fond memories.
