Neil Bricks, one of the most successful agents ever at Los Alamitos Race Course and a mainstay at the Orange County oval in Southern California for over 45 years, passed away at his home on Saturday night. Bricks was 69.
A New York native, Bricks worked at Los Alamitos Race Course as a groom, exercise rider, jockey and then as one of the track s top agents. His jockeys included leading riders Ramon Guce, who is also Los Alamitos all-time leading Thoroughbred rider, Cesar De Alba, Eddie Garcia, Ramon Sanchez, Vinnie Bednar and many others. Highly competitive in the tough business of horse racing, Bricks was a fun, caring and loving person once the entries had been drawn and the races had been run.
