  • BigAConfidential · Thank you all for the kind words. Eibar has been a mainstay on the NYRA circuit for the latter half of the last decade, and the jockey room will probably feel a little empty without him going forward. Praying for his return to health. Y RedYara, Ramon es el patrón oro para sudamericano compitiendo comentario. Un tipo de clase. Espero trabajar con él otra vez en el futuro. Gracias por lectura. Espero que regresará. · 460 days ago ·
