Grateful that Espinoza is going to be ok. But wow, so heartbreaking to lose Bobby Abu Dhabi. This sport is high and low and one must be tough to follow it, for sure. RIP Bobby Abu Dhabi.

Just a coincidence, but my only nephew, Corey, managed to wreck his ATV in Va Friday. Just about the same result. He's coming down to Tampa for surgery. He has numbness in his arms and shoulders, fractured one vertebrae in his neck, but repairable.
Can't say the same for the ATV. It's gone to the scrap metal heap in the sky.

Talked to brother, Corey has something similar to Espinoza. He will stay in Va to let swelling go down, then come to Tampa in case surgery is needed. Tampa General is one of the top hospitals in the country. I know their neuro team well. He'll be well taken care of.7

I wish Corey a speedy recovery too, ElPrado.

I always liked Victor Espinoza - more than Bob Baffert used to - that's for sure.
