Fray Martinez Drawing
Over the past Thoroughbred Racing Season at Laurel Park, I have become friends with a couple of the jockeys. I have posted photos and drawing in this blog of Jevian Toledo and Victor Carrasco. They are both from Puerto Rico. One of there good friends was a young jockey, also from Puerto Rico, Fray Martinez. Last summer Fray was riding the tracks of the Mid Atlantic, and during a trip home in December, was diagnosed with Leukemia. Early this month Fray lost his battle, and passed away just hours after his first child, a son was born.
I did this drawing as a tribute to this well loved young man, and as a gift for his buddies Jevian and Victor.
