Albarado off mounts?

[Grits]

Does anyone know why Robby has taken off his mounts today. I was away yesterday, for most of the afternoon, and didn't get to watch Keeneland's racing?

i think he went down mid card yesterday, they said he was walking from the ambulance back to the jocks room and expected him to ride today. probably was just too sore today

Thank you Jb.

Kurt just announced Mena is off as well. I hope he's staying sober, but this is not a good sign today.:faint:

From the blog of the Herald-Leader's turf writer:
Keeneland’s leading rider Robby Albarado is off his mounts today after suffering contusions to his face during a spill in the sixth race on Saturday. He is scheduled to return to riding on Wednesday.

“He’s fine, he just looks like he got in a fight with Mike Tyson,” said Lenny Pike, Albarado’s agent. “His right eye is almost swollen shut and he can’t ride today, but he will ride Wednesday.”

He got dumped coming out of the gate and cut below the eye.
