Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 8, 2019 Journalists Share Posted August 8, 2019 Brian Elmore, executive director of the Indiana Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association, has become the first horsemen’s group executive named an ambassador for Jockeys and Jeans, an all-volunteer group founded by former jockeys who have raised better than $1.2 million for the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund over the past six years. Elmore is a dedicated supporter of Jockeys and Jeans fundraising efforts and has previously been recognized for his work with the Eddie Arcaro Award, presented by the National Jockeys Guild for his service to the industry and work for the betterment of jockeys at Gulfstream Park in 2016. Elmore and two-time Triple Crown-winning trainer Bob Baffert are the only non-jockey ambassadors who agree to use their platforms to promote and to raise awareness of the inherent risks of horse racing and to develop a revenue stream for permanent funding for those who have suffered catastrophic, career-ending injuries in accidents.
