Joel Rosario, who was unseated Thursday during the sixth race at Aqueduct, returned to riding Friday, finishing last in the second race aboard King Puck.

On Friday, he said he wasn't sure whether he would be able to ride.

"I'm going to try to ride and see how I feel," he told Horse Racing Nation on Friday morning.

Rosario said he had "no injuries, just a little swelling, that's it. Everything else is good."

Rosario was aboard Over and Ollie, a 5-year-old gelding trained by Rick Dutrow. According to the Equibase chart, Rosario was unseated when Over and Ollie stumbled at the start. The horse was apprehended by an outrider and walked off the track.

Keith McCalmont, a spokesperson for the New York Racing Association, posted on X that Rosario was treated by onsite emergency medical technicians and was off his mounts for the rest of the day.

Rosario was scheduled to ride in the second, sixth and eighth races Friday. He also has the mount on Opulent Restraint in the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup (G1) on Saturday at Keeneland.
