Get Well Soon Bobby Gonzalez

Golden Gate Fields journeyman jockey Roberto "Bobby" Gonzalez suffered a terrible spill in a 2-year old race this past Wednesday April 29th (article here) breaking vertebrae in his neck. The 54 year old jockey is a consummate pro and winner of over 4,000 races.

I've met Bobby numerous times and he was aboard my horse Dead Solid Perfect when he broke his maiden on the Golden Gate Fields turf beating eventual stakes winner Putmeinyourwill. He was always friendly in the paddock and gave his best in every race.

Here's hoping you get well soon Bobby.
