Hmmmmmmm - wonder if he was in rehab or something? Wasn't his retirement because of his girlfriend/wife being ill?? The whole thing is a mystery to me!!!

Ramon Dominguez’ piercing blue eyes witnessed horse racing for the first time when he was 13-years-old. He was at a racetrack where his father used to bet in his native Venezuela, and he says he knew from that very same moment he wanted to race horses for a living.

thank you, wonderful article - I'm tempted to post every single positive horseracing article to my non racing friends on facebook- after that complete assassination in the NYT that came to me via several emails yesterday
I also reposted this to let people know what ELSE goes on at the track

Ugh that has to suck.
Left hand huh? I wonder if he's a righty - still sucks big time. I drilled a hole through my thumb last month and couldn't use that hand. It just makes you more klutzy and more likely to injure something else.
Thx for the update
