Jockey Julia Brimo, who suffered injuries when her mount, Golden Stride
(Smart Strike), clipped heels and fell during Friday’s 1ST race at Keeneland,
has been listed in “critical” condition by the University of Kentucky Medical
Center.

A native of Ontario, Canada, Brimo won the Sovereign Award as the top
apprentice jockey in Canada in 2003 after riding 75 winners.

At Keeneland, Brimo had ridden in two previous races during the fall meet
prior to the start of Friday’s program.
