About 5 years ago, I was in a box sitting at Del Mar with him and his wife, very nice man, also had breakfast with him at Clockers Corner at SA.

Hope he has a speedy recovery, He is a very nice man.

PS, What we talked about was Seabiscuit and how the horse did wonders for horse-racing.

Retired trainer Mel Stute, 85, still recuperating in Pomona from a spill in which he suffered a head injury, hopes to celebrate Christmas with a post-holiday visit at a satellite facility. “He seemed really, really good yesterday when I visited with him,” said his son, trainer Gary Stute. “He shouldn’t be in there much longer. He still can’t lift himself out of the chair, but other than that, he seemed really good. Hopefully, we’ll get him to Fairplex for a while on opening day.”
