AHHHHHH ... Craig Perret ... there is a name from the past ....
http://www.drf.com/news/qa-craig-perret ... ing-jockeyBest horses ridden? You don’t have enough ink in your pen. There were so many: Unbridled, Housebuster, Eillo, Fast Hilarious, Strike the Gold, Smoke Glacken, Royal Glint, Safely Kept, Honest Pleasure, Winning Colors, Cherokee Run, Optimistic Gal. I could go on a lot longer. I was unbelievably fortunate to have the opportunity to ride as many great horses as I did.
Your credentials seem worthy of the National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame, and yet you’ve only made the nominees list one time (2006). Your thoughts? I guess it’s been an “out of sight, out of mind” kind of thing. Look, I’ve been extremely blessed in this game, won some awards that mean the world to me – the Eclipse Award [1990] and the George Woolf Award [1998]. The Woolf – that’s your peers, and that means so much. I’m in the Fair Grounds Hall of Fame and the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in my home state. I won pretty much all the big races. I’ve done all I can do. Of course people say to me, “You should be in the Hall of Fame,” but what can I do about it? Do I need to be in there? No. But would I like to be in there? Sure, it’d be lovely.
