Well I never lived with him so I could understand the differing point of view. There was a time before he got hurt really bad at Saratoga that he was an excellent rider.

Why couldnt the track foot the bill for something like a catastrophic medical insurance? Something that doesnt kick in until $50,000+ or something.

Below that jocks could foot something that had limited coverage. There's lots of ways to work insurance so that no one person has to foot the entire bill. Perhaps even the owners could fund a catastrophic fund. I think that is the real issue that Honu is getting at. Smaller bills could be covered by personal coverage.

The tracks did cover the jocks for $100000 until they (Guild) let the policy lapse. Plus that amount really isn't enough anymore to cover a serious injury. Most tracks have adequate coverage in place.

We are very lucky that here in Cali it is up to a million and i believe a few other states are at that same level.
