We can all sleep better tonight knowing that Romero @romeronlsa surgery went well and his spine is stabilized. He has a very long road to recovery but this surgery was the most crucial part. Such a relief for us all. Hopefully he will be able to start walking in a few days.

I always consider myself a lucky and fortunate person and when the saddle flips over during the middle of a breeze and I miraculously didn't fall off I'm able to laugh about it and jump back on the next horse. Rode like this for 6f until apprehended NY the outrider

As a fellow jockey I am devastated for Luis Saez, no jockey deserves to go through such a high if winning the derby and such an extreme low of being DQ. Especially that it wasnt his fault. Also my cousin Romero who rode the horse to 1st 2 victories then was injured shortly after
