Praying For Bulgado
 

Scary breakdown this morning. Exercise riders risk the same as jocks. Hope he makes it.

My prayers to Mr. Bulgado.

As a rider, I'm always in awe of what real riders the exercise riders and jockeys are. I've been under therapy from a fall from a horse several weeks ago and I'm not so sure I'm interested in getting back in the saddle again, but these guys and girls? It's their life.

Huge shout out to Mary Lou Whitney for covering medical expenses. On top of EVERYTHING else she does.

Hoping for the best.

Terrible news. :( I hope he not only makes it but is able to continue to earn a living doing what he loves to do. He'll get the best care thanks to Marylou. This is such a tragic situation.

That turf course is just jinxed right now. A NYRA committee met about it. They supposedly walked it and couldn't find anything notable.

This incident happened on the turf course at the Oklahoma training track, not the main track.

Ahh. Is this the only breakdown on the training track?

I think so, but I'm not sure. Follow Jerry Bossert on Twitter, he keeps track of this kind of stuff.

Whitney has always been a gem of a human being. Will be a huge loss for the racing community when she's gone.

Here is a link to the breakdown database.

Prayers sent for Raymond.

From what I've been told, the turf course at the Oklahoma is really beat up. Of course, it's hard to know whether that contributed to this incident.

Yeah, if you only like the negativities surrounding the sport (especially NYRA) he's a must follow. It's a rare occurrence when he has something positive to say.

Fantastic news!!

One of Mr. Bulgado's friends posted on facebook that he visited and that he has movement and is responsive.
