Spill leaves jockey Brimo in critical condition
SHe needs All the Prayers in the World.
LEXINGTON, Ky. - Jockey Julia Brimo was in critical condition at a Lexington hospital late Friday afternoon after suffering injuries when her mount, Golden Stride, fell after clipping heels in the first race at Keeneland. Brimo, advancing up the inside, fell to the Polytrack main track, and Golden Stride tumbled to the ground, appearing to strike the fallen Brimo. All other horses appeared to avoid the rider, although Gihon and jockey Larry Sterling bumped into Golden Stride as that horse tried to regain his footing in the 1 1/8-mile race for maiden $30,000 claiming horses.

At the track, the talk was that she was still unconcious in the ambulance. A terrible thing, my heart goes out to her family and friends. Jocks are brave, no doubt.

As of 11pm newscast, UK says still critical, they do not expect her condition to change overnight.

I hope she makes it. It would be horrible for John DaSilva to lose a pet.

Quote:
this is from an article on drf: University of Kentucky Hospital would not release any details on Brimo's injury, other than her being in critical condition, but trainer Mark Casse, for whom Brimo worked previously, said his ex-wife, Jennifer Christiansen, was at the hospital with Brimo and informed him that she had suffered head and back injuries. Casse said he was reluctant to speak too much regarding her condition, knowing that her condition could be changing. He said he was told she has movement in her legs, but was placed in an induced coma because of recurring seizures.

This is terrible news. I wish her and her family all the best. I know that another rider, Amanda Casey, has a bruised liver after being kicked by her horse in the paddock Friday. http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...-bruised-liver I can only imagine what it's like for an apprentice who's already out there digging for some kind of foothold to end up, best case scenario, out a month or two in the hole both in terms of earning a living and networking with trainers. It's hard enough for veterans. Hopefully that's all she's got and there are no complications but there's internal bleeding so who knows.
Is Julia Brillo's horse okay? I assumed so because there was no mention of euthanasia by anybody.
