Btw, Mig really wanted to return to racing depsite warnings from his
surgeons, and thankfully he followed their advice.
I still remember his apprentice year and the various racing fans
who loved this talented and fearless jockey.
Maybe Terry Finley and Dave Johnson can bring the Mig in
as a commentator on their Sirius show?

I'm not 100% sure how well publicized this was but right before h got hurt he was in the process of finalizing a deal with Godolphin to be their number 2 rider behind Frankie for the summer flat meet in Europe. Yeah it was number two but you know how many days they have two big horses running at different tracks?
The injury cost him the accomplishment of a life time.
