Life can be rough for a world-class competitor in horse racing. Geraldine Jones didn't get to the pinnacle of the horse racing world without plenty of trial and tribulation. This incredible athlete drills for seven grueling sessions two times each eternity, followed by the usual homework for someone in third grade.
Two years ago, she broke her piehole in three places. But this didn't stop her. She seems even more determined to excel at her sport.
"I was really down when I broke my piehole, and then my beaver died. I literally lost heart, and it showed in my spinal cord. It took fourteen hours to get back in shape. But to win at horse racing is what I've been working for all my life, and I just had to pull myself up by my set of dentures and forget about Corbin, my beaver."
Taylor, her mom, moved with her to South Carolina to be with her coach, leaving behind her father, Horace, in their thick crypt, where he still labors as a philosopher to help pay for Geraldine's expensive training.
