To Kate and Family , remembering Alan should always be a special place in your heart , as he always had time . or made time for everyone who he knew or came in contact with . There was not a minute that he didnot stop an talk to me either in passing in our busy schedules or just chat about what was going on in our racing circles that we both loved . I will deeply miss him as we all will even though I was not as close to him as a friend as would like to have been . He loved you so much Kate , he did tell me and the things he was going to with his sons when not working . Love is all me have Kate , so remember it and hold it forever in your heart and how you meant so much to him .

A good horseman - that's all I know. My instincts tell me he was a good Jewish horseman.
