The gathering of the nation’s Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse riders will focus on current issues of importance including health, safety and insurance updates as well as other industry issues pertaining to jockeys. “All Guild members should make it a priority to attend the Assembly,” Chairman of the Jockeys’ Guild John Velazquez said. “It is the one time of year that all of us have the opportunity to discuss and exchange ideas to improve conditions for jockeys.” In addition to Monday’s sessions, the Guild will host a welcome cocktail party that evening. The annual awards luncheon, which will be held Tuesday, will feature the Eddie Arcaro Award, Laffit Pincay Award, Jacky Martin Award and the Ron Turcotte Award. “The attendance and involvement of all of our members is essential in the ongoing efforts to improve safety conditions,” added G.R.
