Jockeys to contribute to Brimo fund On November 28, jockeys across North America will be asked to contribute one mount fee to the Julia Brimo Fund, set up to assist with her expenses during rehabilitation for her injuries. Brimo suffered head and back injuries in a spill at Keeneland on October 30 and is currently a patient at the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto. Early next week, she is expected to be transferred to the Lyndhurst Centre, a leading spinal cord rehabilitation facility also in Toronto. In honor of Brimo, and to raise awareness of the plight of seriously injured jockeys, riders across North America will wear two patches on their boots on November 28. One patch will feature her name, "Julia," on it while the other will highlight the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund (PDJF). The Julia Brimo Fund was established at Fifth Third Bank by Cindy Werner, the wife of trainer Ronny Werner. Contributions can be made to the Fund by sending a check, made out to the Julia Brimo Fund, to Cindy Werner at 1116 Flat Rock Road, Louisville, KY, 40245.
