The jockey had his spleen removed from an accident about five years ago. A jockey, female, won at Suffolk Downs in Massachusetts this past weekend; she overcame brain damage and more suffered two years ago from an accident in West Virginia. Jockeys don’t have an easy task.
Now wait a minute!
If the jockey was missing his spleen, then the entire jockey never crossed the finish line!
FOUL!
DQ!
