Possibly....I'm sure I would have said something about the ligaments/tendons..luckily  I have not had any surgeries for them, but my one son had for his foot, and another couple of people at my tennis club, plus I play with some nurses and doctors too and they always talk about these kind of surgeries.

Well I remember lots of prognostications that made me feel even worse than I did at the time. They were right. It's a really tough injury, from what I've heard since then.

Robbie Albarado had the same injury about the exact same time of the year last year. He was back mid to late march I think...and they're about the same age.

Foot injuries are bad.  Best of luck to Garrett.

 

I know you do not share my opinion but I love Borel's jockey calendar photo.  It's the first one where the rider's persoanlity really comes through and the man has some yummy arms on him. Mr. March is just fine with me.

Now, am I happy that my birthday month of October features Go-Go in all his jaw-dropping glory?  You bet!

Oh, good one!  I wish they had used the shot of Mike Smith lying in bed, that could have caused me to seek help for elevated blood pressure.

With all the bad press racing's getting lately - here's a really nice article by Caton Bredar. Why don't they make a tv series showing the GOOD side of the sport.....?

I continue to marvel at the accessibility and graciousness of our sport’s biggest stars and the knowledge they’re willing to share. And it’s not just with me or the media they share with.
Jockeys and trainers—and in many cases, owners—continue to be the sport’s greatest ambassadors to the general public. With no monetary compensation, they consistently take time out of their busy schedules…schedules that arguably are more 24/7 than in any other athletic endeavor…and give of themselves to their sport and their fans.

In between early morning workouts and races virtually seven days a week, they do tv interviews, radio shows, teleconferences, phone interviews and conference calls. They write blogs, go on twitter, participate in fundraisers, do charity work, hand out goggles, donate halters, sign autographs, answer often times ridiculous questions and generally, do so with grace and incredible patience.
