Unbelievable true story behind a jockeys life 2

[@Caroni100]

R.I.P. Randy Paul Romero (December 22, 1957 - August 29, 2019) a Hall of Fame Jockey who won 4,285 races in a 24 year career, including a high number of Grade I stakes. I think Personal Ensingn was the best thouroughbred horse he ever rode. A very brave man! God bless him! My condolences to his family and friend from Venezuela.

[@kevinbourgeois6497]

Randy Romero , the toughest jockey to ever ride.

[@Caroni100]

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia´s quotation: "While Randy Romero met with great success as a jockey, the downside of his career was a number of racing-related injuries requiring more than twenty surgeries. He retired in july 1999 having ridden 4,285 winners, notably winning a number of important Grade I events"

Kevin Bourgeois Randy Romero Who Rides Personal Ensign and Go For Wand and Was Elected to The National Racing and Museum Hall of Fame in 2010.

Kevin Bourgeois I Met Randy Romero in Person on Belmont Stakes Day in 2010 and His New Book The Remarkable Ride!

[@gw7132]

Kevin Bourgeois so did the surgery go ok Can't finish watching Too sad for me

[@cranberry411]

No different than an mma fighter making weight. I think this career is way more dangerous on the body.

[@septemberquest6393]

Jockeys are among the most powerful athletes in the world.🏇

[@tomasromero254]

This could be a good series... would be a good way of bringing issues up with racing and hopefully bring in better quality crowds!!!

[@shortnanxious6088]

...and my act as a good safe guard for some of these Jockeys

[@jodavin2325]

'i wanted to do it bad enough so he took the easy way' far from the easy way....eating disordered behaviour seems to be previlant in the world of jockeys.i understand all sports have a negative side where you are sacrificing alot in terms of health but to take up eating disordered behaviour it is evident how it continues even after retiring.

[@tubeyhamster]

Randy Romero seems like a nice guy.

[@Silvercharm5555]

Smh they sacrifice so much just to do what they love why can’t they just raise weight like would you rather have humans die or potentially horses I love horses and would never want to see them harmed in any way but I definitely don’t want to have to pick up a eating disorder just to do something I love ik these horses can take more weight because they have 150lb exercise riders on them in the morning now tell how that can harm a horse in a race when these 130lb 150lb exercise riders are breezing these horses in the morning c’mon now this has to freaking change man !

Over worked not much free time financially on a tight budget even if your dad is the guvnor UK sjxties not allowed to.marry whom you want to its all about money

[@Chrisoula17]

They need to go on a vegan diet. A diet very high in vegetables and greens. Very low calorie and very filling and very nutritious.

[@nutellagoeat]

I had no idea jockeys went through so much.

[@Chrisoula17]

Flipping is such a dangerous practice. Healthy foods need to always be available in the jockey room. Fresh fruits and veggies are very high in fiber and low in calories and very filling.

[@teurypotter1218]

Chris Kalogeropouls i Dont Like The Jockeys See Flipping!

[@stayfre1]

very good documentary. !!!THKS to upload it

[@nialldawson5165]

In Ireland and England the jockeys just don’t eat at all but it’s a lot easier then actually eating to throw it back up which will eventually take its tole like with Randy Romero

[@mayaescott6250]

[@lunsy9420]

Some of those owners could have written a million dollar check without even noticing, that's ad they are paid so little and then thrown out.

[@a305crack]

man Shane Sellers is a cool dude i remember being a kid and beong at Gulfstream with my dad and i asked shane for an autograph and he gave me a pair of googles too man i miss betting on him he was one of the best

[@Caroni100]

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia´s quotation: "A serious knee injury in December 2000 kept Sellers out of racing for a year and a half. His experience led him to become an outspoken critic of the lack of proper health insurance being provided to jockeys. He returned to the track in 2002, racing until his retirement in late December 2004"

We don't need you to go and grab quotes from wiki for us.

[@christinemartindale8715]

Randy this made me weep😘

[@Caroni100]

For every male or female jockey around the world, next race can be the last one. And like Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith said once: "If you don´t win, you´re not paid" Greetings from Venezuela.

[@popejohn1190]

Caroni100 well that's BS.....Jockeys get a riding fee....win or lose and if they win they get 10% of the prize money....yanks just love to sensationalised everything...

[@jock4hire]

Untrue Caron, jockeys are always paid to ride each mount. They just make a lot more when they win.

[@Chrisoula17]

Why aren't there any nutritionists working with these jockeys?

[@teurypotter1218]

Chris Kalogeropouls The Jockeys Drink a Little of Water!

[@brucemorris1028]

money, the regular jockey can not afford them,

[@isabelescobar912]

minute 18:32 , how does he call the toilet where the people vomit? I know it is dry heaving, but the actual toilet, what is it called?

[@johnseal56]

That is a fixture called a clinical sink or a hopper, which is *meant* to be used in a hospital or healthcare facility for washing bedpans and really soiled linens before sending them to laundry. It's used also for emptying urine bottles, emesis bowls, and like that. Now pardon me while I go watch some Puppy Bowl repeats....

[@kayper54]

@20:58 Well, that's interestingly prophetic.

[@eunicestone6532]

They are killing themselves.. for the owners and fame because it sure doesn't pay that much.

I want to said one thing that Turfway park is not in Cincinnati Ohio You will see the exit to turfway park on I71/I75 on the Kentucky side before you cross the bridge to Ohio

[@Silvercharm5555]

Just raise the weight man smh!

[@a305crack]

he could still be in the buisness without riding youve devoted so much to the game the last thing anyone wants to see is you get hurt

[@brucemorris1028]

why don't they form a union like nfl, or mlb? they are a very specialized group that should be taken care of much better than this, 4th place at kentucky derby few hundred bucks? really? go on strike and see what the owners do, I am struggling to get to 200#, how many can do 112# and ride like they do? Go on strike!!!

[@user-od8eq8bd1g]

They are technically self employed with no contracts and no job security. You can't really form a union when there are ten guys behind you to take your job if you say no.

[@bski824]

So sad.

[@Caroni100]

Para cada jinete hombre ó mujer alrededor del mundo, la próxima carrera puede ser la última. Y cómo dijo una vez el jinete Mike Smith: "Si no ganas, no te pagan" 😕

[@AlphaMom55]

She didn't release the torniquete before pulling out the butterfly needle. 😬 Oops!
