X-rays were negative on jockey Eurico Rosa da Silva after a spill in the 9TH
race Wednesday at Aqueduct, according to the NYRA Jockey Advocate.
Da Silva, 35, was taken to Jamaica Hospital after being unseated when his
mount in the race, Honeywantshermoney (Hook and Ladder), fell after the finish line.
He was
released after the X-rays came back negative.
Honeywantshermoney, a three-year-old filly trained by Rodrigo Ubillo,
suffered fatal cardiovascular collapse.
According to Kevin Meyocks, da Silva’s agent, he is day-to-day and hopes to
return to the saddle when racing resumes at Aqueduct.
Thursday’s card was called
off after a severed cable resulted in the complete loss of tote communication at
the track. Simulcasting was also canceled on Thursday.
Da Silva has won eight races from 68 starts in 2011. The Brazilian native has won 673 races over the course of his riding career in
North America, which started in 2004.
