Jockeys Visit Ronald McDonald House of Long Island

John Velasquez led the team of jockeys on their annual visit to Ronald McDonald House of Long Island on June 7th. Each year, the jockeys stop by two days before the Belmont Stakes bringing joy to the children who ride on ponies led by the jockeys around the grounds of the magnificient Ronald McDonald House of Long Island.This year, Johnny was joined by Mario Gutierrez, Julien Leparoux, Maylan Studart, Jose Ortiz, and Irad Ortiz. The jockeys presented the children with goggles which were autographed by all of our athletes. Many thanks to everyone for their participation!
