Georgia 811 becomes a #Chromie

Georgia 811 is a proud sponsor and supporter of the 811-sponsored jockey Victor Espinoza as he rides California Chrome in an attempt to win the first Triple Crown victory since 1978 at the Belmont Stakes this Saturday, June 7. Espinoza, California Chrome and 811 have been an unbeatable combination so far, having won first place in the first two jewels of the Triple Crown, the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes.

“I’ve only been wearing the ‘Call 811’ message for a few weeks, but I’ve quickly been educated on how important it is for the safety of everyone who digs,” said Victor Espinoza. “I’m looking forward to the opportunity to remind millions of horse racing fans about how important it is to know what’s below and call 811 before they dig. A buried utility is damaged every six minutes because someone decided to dig without calling 811, and I hope my involvement with the ‘Call 811’ campaign can help improve those figures.”

We hope you’ll join Georgia 811 as we cheer on 811 sponsored jockey Victor Espinoza and his trusty steed, California Chrome, at the Belmont Stakes this Saturday! Regardless of the race’s outcome, we know Espinoza and California Chrome have reminded millions of Americans to always call 811 to know what’s below before digging. Tune into NBC around 6 p.m. EST on Saturday to watch live race coverage.
