TAM-5TH RACE TODAY

Is there not a concern for the jockey's in this sport? I just watched a jock fall off a horse, (by the way, the horse finished 2nd, without the rider) and not one word about the incident. It's like it didn't even happen. I was concerned about the jockey, and not one word mentioned about his well being, etc. This is cold....this gives the impression no one really cares whether these guys live, die, or are broken and end up as "quads"? Seems this sports needs some compassion!!

Track announcer Richard Grunder said as soon as they all crossed the line that Gonzalez was up and OK. If you were watching the feed you could not have missed it.
