Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted December 12, 2018 Journalists Share Posted December 12, 2018 The Jockeys’ Guild held its 2018 Annual Meeting, sponsored by TVG Betfair USA, in Las Vegas Dec. 10 and 11. Those in attendance participated in presentations and discussions on how to enhance the sport of horseracing, improve the conditions under which Guild members ride, and what can be done to assure that the younger riders carry on the traditions of the Guild. Since 2007, the Guild has provided its members $13.5 million dollars in benefits, including health and welfare reimbursements. The riders in attendance elected John Velazquez and Mike Smith as Jockeys’ Guild Co-Chairs, Ricky Ramirez, Julien Leparoux and Javier Castellano as Vice Chairs, Joel Campbell as Treasurer, and Rodney Prescott as Secretary. Joe Bravo and Alex Birzer were re-elected and Joe Talamo was newly elected as members of the Board of Directors. Ramon Dominguez was appointed as an ex-officio member of the Board.
