Statement From Ramon Dominguez

It is extremely difficult for me to announce that due to the severity of the injuries I sustained in an accident at Aqueduct Racetrack on January 18, 2013, my professional riding career has come to an end.Read More

mdracing69 · The following statement is issued on behalf of NYRA by Vice President and Director of Racing P.J. Campo: “All of us at NYRA are saddened to learn that Ramon Dominguez has been forced to end his riding career. Ramon distinguished himself immediately upon moving his tack to New York in 2009. Already a wintertime regular at Aqueduct, Ramon made a seamless transition to riding full-time on the NYRA circuit. He won numerous meet riding titles and many of our top races, en route to becoming New York’s leading rider for each of the past four years. Ramon’s accomplishments – including the last three Eclipse awards as North America’s top jockey – only tell part of the story, though. He has epitomized class both on and off the racetrack. Universally respected by his fellow riders and beloved by fans, Ramon has built a towering and well-deserved reputation that serves as a standard for all future jockeys. It has been a true privilege to have him in the NYRA riding colony and we wish him and his family the very best in this new chapter of their lives.” · 6 days ago ·

Sullivan · He has a good future as a jockey agent, exercise rider, trainer, broadcaster, these comments (devastated) are a little strong. He's alive and will stay that way for hopefully a while yet. I'm disappointed but it's hardly devastation · 6 days ago ·
