Junior Alvarado will undergo surgery on Thursday to repair a broken
left ankle and will be out for approximately three months, his agent,
Mike Selitto, said Monday.
Alvarado sustained the injury prior to the running of the $100,000
East View Stakes at Aqueduct Racetrack on Sunday, when his mount, Miss
Narcissist, flipped in the gate and unseated the rider. Alvarado was
taken by ambulance to North Shore University Hospital for X-rays and was
discharged that evening to see his personal physician.
Selitto said Alvarado would await the surgery at home.
Alvarado, 27, currently is fifth in the jockey standings for the Aqueduct inner-track meet with six
victories. For the year, he has 188 wins for $12,338,908 on The New
York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) circuit, including 30 stakes
victories, among them the Grade 1 Forego with Strapping Groom and the
Grade 1 Cigar Mile Handicap aboard Flat Out.
