Injured Jockey Straight Visits Track

The actions he once took for granted are harder now -- navigating between barns on the backside, passing through a turnstile near the grandstand -- but Michael Straight conquers each hurdle as it comes.

Never mind that he watches morning works from a wheelchair. Never mind that the rumble of hooves strikes a yearning in his soul. He is back at the racetrack, and in years ahead he will remember these days as vital in the road to recovery from his tragic fall.
