12 years ago today our family lost my brother Joshua Scott Radosevich in a racing accident. Please remember that jockeys are not machines they do their jobs the best they can and how dangerous their job actually is. It can happen to anyone. Prayers to my family on this day
Happy to report
@b_hernandezjr
is okay after that nasty spill in race 3
@ChurchillDowns
! So tough and will finish out the card 🙏 thanks for all the texts and calls!
Congratulations to Brian Hernandez Jr., who became the 12th jockey

So excited to land “unbridledexplosion” who is in foal to Mitole! Big hard trying filly who
@b_hernandezjr
rode when she raced! Thanks
@lanternhillfarm
she looks fabulous 💗
Wishing
@JackGilligan14
a speedy recovery. I’ve seen Jack’s hard work and great attitude first hand. Seeing him hurt brings tears to my eyes. Stewards need to hand out the appropriate punishment. This accident could have been avoided. Careless self centered riding to blame. 🙏🙏
A glorious high - and a shocking low: 2 weeks in the life of a young jockey.
TRC contributor Patrick Gilligan ells of the enjoyable and rewarding few days he had with his son Jack Gilligan, who's spent past winters racing at Fair Grounds.

fell yesterday, worked King Fury and Rattle N Roll starting at 530am at Churchill, then to Keeneland to work Tiz the Bomb, then on to riding the card. One of many jockeys that absolutely GRIND in this profession. These guys are true pros!
Little brother (Independence Hall/Unbridledexplosion) & little sister yearling (Mitole/Unbridledexplosion ) have big shoes to fill! Exciting prospects coming to the sales from our farm💓

He spends quite a bit of time in the shoot trotting circles and transitioning into a light canter, just as you would see a dressage horse do.

@DRFMcGee
I feel that public transparency would be so helpful. Live feed of the stewards talking to jockeys and their take on each race when fouls are taking place. I believe explanations of all parties would be much clearer.
