Before the sixth, Junior Alvarado was kicked and injured in the paddock. This resulted in some issues. Suggest we wait to see what's up before jumping to conclusions.

That's awful.

At least it's nice to know that David Cohen has a brain and a heart.

Hope Junior is feeling better. I don't blame them for being pissed.

After Saturday's delayed response to provide assistance to injured jockey Junior Alvarado, the New York Racing Association implemented new changes Sunday to protect riders.

Exactly. No excuse. "No one responded" to their radio calls? WTF?

Sounds like a vastly improved plan

You do realize the initial thread is weeks old and NYRA made steps to ensure what happened with Alvarado never happens again...and they did it the very next day.

Sometimes stuff happens. Not saying what happened isn't a big deal and should have never happened. but it really wasn't a NYRA thing, and they responded almost immediately to fix the problem, which is all you can really ask for.

So, let me get this straight:

NYRA/TLG figured that it wasn't enough for you to have their a ss over at PA and that you were also needed over here?

Not to worry, at least there are still some NYRA detracters over at PA. HERE, NYRA can do no wrong.

So, really, you might be out of a job soon.

Then again, NYRA f u ck s up A LOT.

P.S. I'd watch my back: appears as if Nick Tam is after your job.
