Larry will also be presenting Kentucky Colonel Commissions, the highest honor awarded by the Commonwealth of Kentucky to individuals in recognition of noteworthy accomplishments and outstanding service. These commissions will be presented to Delta Downs owner, Mr. Boyd and Mr. Warren and Ms. Vice of Delta Downs. After his visit in December, Birdbird's owner, Ray Cottrell, Sr. was so impressed with the hospitality and professional treatment he received while at Delta Downs that he mentioned it to Governor Fletcher of Kentucky and the Governor felt that these special individuals are great ambassadors to the thoroughbred horse racing industry and that they are truly serving the racing industry in an exemplary manner.

Wow, this is great news, and all I can say is that the industry really needs more people like Mr. Cottrell and Gov. Fletcher - they both seem to really care about the sport and want to see it thrive. It's my generation who will be handed the reins next, and that scares me sometimes. Thanks for showing us through this blog that there still are good people out there.
