"During the past year, the guild settled a lawsuit with the paralyzed jockey Gary Birzer, who alleged that the guild did not notify riders that it had failed to renew an insurance policy covering jockeys for catastrophic injuries.

As a result of the settlement, Churchill resumed making payments to the guild after a two-year hiatus."
