Yea that sucks....hopefully he saved much of the money he made so that he will basically have a comfortable life and can do some of the things in life that will make him somewhat happy.

Not in the irons sadly. The retirement decision was made when it became clear that getting medical clearance to ride was going to be almost impossible.

Like a lot of jockey "retirements", I really took Ramon's retirement as it's taking him much longer than expected to get better, but one day we''ll see him back. Didn't know of this detail though.... bummer. I'm still hoping that there still might be the slimmest of chances in the next couple years the he's healed enough to get cleared
