An acquaintance of mine, Robert Blanco here in FL suffered a similar fate in a terrible fall many years ago in New Jersey. He has been a jock agent on and off for several years at CRC. Rene won many races for me at APX, which has over last many years been a great track for me.
I wish him well--his family too.
