Jockey Sues Guild over Insurance Fund: Gary Donahue, a paralyzed former jockey, has filed a lawsuit against the Jockey's Guild, seeking an answer as to what happened to the $1 million Disabled Jockey's Fund. Donahue learned the fund would be terminated in 2004 and is seeking an injunction to prevent this from happening.



This is another story that shines a light on the plight of professional jockeys. Jockeys face debilitating injuries with each ride, and once injured, find that insurance they believed they had does not come close to covering their medical bills.
