I just read that she is stable now,thankfully. I knew Julia for several years ,what a lovely girl and as pretty as Chantal! It's been tough since she lost her bug but she is talented and a hard worker. Hang in there kid!

My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family. I hope she recovers fully! Are there any updates on her condition?

Any more news? I heard a rumor she was back in Canada, but the source wasn't sure. Also I haven't heard much about how Chad Beckon is doing either. Anyone know?

I believe she is back in Toronto, at a rehab hospital. Read that somewhere on the 'net. When I find it, I'll try to link it.

Julia is in Toronto at Sunnybrook, it's can't be good! A fund has been set up for her by Ronnie Werner's wife in Louisville and I believe that most riders in North America will be donating a mount fee for her on Nov 28th and wearing patches with her name to highlight the plight of injured jockeys. There is plenty of current info on the web , I feel so bad for her!

Yes she is in Toronto. You can read more on her condition if you have Facebook, join the Facebook group that was set up for her called "Get Well Card for Julia Brimo".
