JOCKEY DIES FOR SECOND TIME 1.HALL OF FAME JOCKEY RALPH NEVES, who died Friday in San Marcos (San Diego Country) at the age of 78, was involved in one of the most bizarre incidents in racing history back in 1936. 2. Neves was knocked unconscious in a fall and taken by ambulance to Peninsula Hospital. The emergency room doctor took one look at Neves and pronounced him dead. He instructed the ambulance driver to take the body to the mortuary. 3. Earlier that day, Neves had made arrangements to meet a doctor friend after the races for dinner. The doctor arrived late to the races and was told that Neves had been taken to the hospital. The doctor rushed off to the hospital and from there to the mortuary. 4. When the doctor arrived at the mortuary, he saw Neve´s “body” lying there. One of his boots had taken off and a tag was attached to his toe. The doctor, however, thought he saw some signs of life. Since he had his bag with him, he took out some adrenaline and gave Neves a shot. 5. The Jockey suddenly sprang to life. He ran out of the mourtory with just one boot on, pursued by the doctor and the mourtory staff. He ran to the train station, hailed a cab and asked the cabdriver to take him back to the racetrack. When he arrived at the racetrack, he jumped out of the cab, ran around the jockey´s room a couple of times, and then proceeded to run down the racetracks towards the place where he had fallen off the horse. Then he collapsed. 6. When Neves came to, he remembered nothing of his adventure. However, he went on to complete a 30-year career, during which he rode 3,772 winners.

SONG

IMAGINE by John Lennon Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today... Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace... You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people Sharing all the world... You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will live as one

No debemos dejarnos vencer por las adversidades que surgan, sino que tenemos que enfrentarlas y salir adelante. El imagina ese tipo de personas en la actualidad.
