D'Amico fund raiser at Furlongs

A fund raiser for injured jockey Tony D'Amico will be held on

Monday from 6-10 p.m. (EST) at Furlongs Restaurant on Frankfort Avenue in Louisville, Kentucky. A $25 per person door charge will

include dinner, a cash bar, silent and live auctions, and time mingling with jockeys and other racetrack characters.

two surgeries to repair a crushed rib cage and broken shoulder.

A special account has been established for the fallen rider at
