Napravnik Injury Update

Delaware Park based (because she left Maryland) jockey Anna "Rosie" Napravnik, injured in a fall from her horse last Friday night at Colonial Downs.

Napravnik broke her left wrist and right pinky finger in a fall during the sixth race last Friday. Napravnik fell when her horse, Afleet Lulu, broke down.

Steve Rushing, Napravnik's agent, said Rosie, underwent emergency surgery at Union Memorial Hospital on Sunday in Baltimore, and is now resting at home in Maryland. Due to the severity of her injuries, no time table for her return has been set.

As any of the readers of this blog know, I am a huge fan of Rosie's riding. Unfortunately, she is in 6th place currently at Del Park, and this is her second major injury this year. This injury sounds pretty bad!

Get well soon Rosie
