BEJARANO SET TO START RIDING AGAIN AT THE END OF AUGUSTRafael Bejarano, 2008 Del Mar riding champion who suffered major facial fractures in a spill on opening day, July 22, is expected to be back riding on Friday, August 28, according to his agent, Jose Ferrer.

Ferrer said this morning Bejarano is expected to return to Del Mar from Kentucky Monday night. “He can’t wait to get back to riding,” Ferrer said. “He’s looking forward to his return.”

Bejarano has been fitted with a protective mask, much like ones worn by basketball players such as Richard Hamilton of the Detroit Pistons and will ride with that for some time.

No problem! Not being a basketball fan, I had no idea what Richard Hamilton's mask looked like.
