Paralyzed Lakeman sends first starter as trainer Saturday..
 
Heartening story by Grening about Andrew Lakeman's full circle as he sends out a starter Saturday as a trainer.

Nice to see he's been able to move forward from the accident.

That's a powerful, inspirational story. So many riders deal with substance abuse issues, and Lakeman has paralysis on top of that. My hat's off to him -- it takes a lot of guts to do what he has. I'll be cheering for him Saturday.

That's awesome. Very happy for my fellow Redcoat. It was his accident and the Basketball game that took place in Saratoga that first made me aware of the PDJF

Second start today for Thisskysabeauty and for Lakeman as a trainer in the Belmont 8th, in a bit tough, but I wish him the best of luck today! :tro:
