Rich Wojcio is expected to be out from eight to 12 weeks after being involved in a racing accident Saturday

, January 9 at Cal Expo.

Wojcio suffered a concussion, a broken left arm and facial injuries while aboard GH Jasmin.

“I don’t remember a thing about the race, just waking up and being all banged up,” said Wojcio, 49. “It’s the worst accident I’ve had in 34 years of driving, and I’m just grateful that I’m able to talk to you and that nobody else was hurt. My son, Rich, Jr., flew in from Texas that same night and is here to help me with my recovery.”

Wojcio, who shifted his base from the east coast of the United States to California several years ago, has won 3,632 races in his career with over $21 million in earnings.

Please join Standardbred Canada in wishing Rich Wojcio a quick and complete recovery from his injuries.
