Thanks - here's hoping for a quick recovery

He's ready to try again...

Thank you for the article - going back east to Keeneland!

I'm hoping he's going to pick up some of Ramon's mounts while he's injured.  Riding for MM, I'm hoping he get's Hansen if Ramon isn't back in time.

I think Ramon will be back in time to ride Hansen (fingers crossed for him) 

Maybe Alpha's people are hoping that he'll win big enough that Ramon would choose him over Hansen, though I don't understand why they don't put GG on him for whichever race they come up with next.  Maybe MM is hedging his bets by giving him a mount this weekend, just in case that happens.  I would love to see GG on Hansen, even though I'm perfectly happy with Ramon, if he's well, and chooses Hansen.

Good news....

Dominguez said doctors told him he may only have to miss this week. May return on the 31st. A virtual certainty he'll make the Wood

excellent news, thanks for posting!

I think Ramon is a good fit for Hansen and they seem to have established a good communication in this last race. GG is more of a come from behind and get aggressive in the stretch run, which isn't Hansen's running style. I know Alpha went nuts in the gate at BC - maybe they think he has nightMAREs of GG - ?

RD's doc will review his MRI to make sure he can come back in 2 weeks...
