Excerpt:

Last year, jockey Julia Brimo was seriously injured during a race at Keeneland when she was flung off her horse. Breaking her back, she was considered a quadriplegic and there was serious doubt that she would ever be able to walk again. Not only has she overcome that hump, but according to an article in the Blood-Horse, she is running four miles a day and still has her mind set on making a return to race riding.
