You know, today was a very good, yet sobering day here at Arlington. The sun was out, the girls were plentiful, Albin ran his rear end off, but all day and night all I could think about is how I would react if the thing I loved most was taken away from me.

Thinking about something like this really messes with ya, and quite honestly, it is really amazing that the other jockeys were able to compete and ride with the same enthusiam (minus Lydie Wade) after seeing what happening. It is a testament to them and their courage.

Hopefully he is able to make it back to the track in some capacity because Arlington would indeed miss not being able to understand him.

Does this mean that he can not ride anywhere? or just Arlington?

I didn't even see it happen during the running of the race. Theriot's ride was awful and completely unacceptable.

My thoughts are with Rene and his family -- this is just terrible.

Anywhere. Most tracks/States/jurisdictions reciprocate.

I wish only the best for Rene and his family. I pray for a complete recovery. Is anyone else a little upset that the Arlington website as of this morning was not even acknolodging that this had happened. I don't think that kind of head in the sand logic makes any sense.
