Diego Sanchez

Jockey Diego Sanchez was severely injured in a spill at emerald downs Friday night. He could use all of the prayers, jingles and well wishes you could spare. At this point, it looks to be life altering and he’s going to have a long road ahead of him.

He’s such a nice, positive guy who truly loves the sport and the horses. My heart breaks for him.

I hope it’s okay to post this - they have started a Facebook page called support for Diego Sanchez if you would like to drop him a word of encouragement.

My husband has used Diego as a jockey for several of his horses over the years. We have said a little prayer for him and his family.
