Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 27, 2018 Journalists Share Posted August 27, 2018 Woodbine Entertainment, along with the HBPA and Jockeys’ Benefit Association of Canada, will host the inaugural Backstretch Softball Classic in support of the Avelino Gomez Memorial Foundation Sept. 17. The foundation assists individuals involved in the horse racing industry and this year’s proceeds will assist Woodbine-based rider Lanscott Fray, who was left paralyzed from the chest down after a training accident earlier this year. The tournament, which will feature a team comprised of stars from Woodbine’s jockey colony, will be held from 12 to 4 p.m. at Paul Coffey Park. The public is welcome to attend and a raffle and BBQ will also benefit the Gomez Foundation. Please contact josiedepaulo@outlook.com to sponsor a team or make a donation.
