Miguel Delgado, an assistant trainer to William Morey based at The Thoroughbred Center in Lexington, Ky., was tragically killed Saturday afternoon in a car accident, according to the Daily Racing Form.
The 53-year-old Delgado had been employed by Morey since 2016, but only recently relocated to Lexington. Prior to working for Morey, Delgado was a long-time employee of retired trainer Julio Canani.
He is survived by his wife, Graciela, and four sons, Miguel Angel, Ricardo, and twins Edgar and Oscar. The latter three work as horsemen in Southern California, while Graciela and Miguel Angel reside in Mexico.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to help pay to transport Delgado's body to Mexico for burial and to cover funeral costs.
