I see he won the first race at the Meadowlands Tuesday. The guy was layed up with a broken back from a racing incident for almost a year. It's a miracle he's still alive. He's not a bad Jock. saw him dominate at Philly Park a while back. Anyway good to see a guy make it all the way back. I think he's close to 4000 wins too.

A broken back is a serious deal. Just to walk again is an accomplishment in itself, its gotta be like the odds of hitting the lotto to be a jockey after a broken back.

Oh so that's where he went. He took over as the dominate jock at Suffolk Downs after Rudy Baez got paralyzed. He was amazing out here. It's great to see him slowly move up the ranks. Edgar Prado was a Suffolk Downs alum as well.
