Da Silva Recovering After Spill

X-rays were negative on jockey Eurico Rosa da Silva after a spill in the ninth race Wednesday at Aqueduct Racetrack, according to the NYRA Jockey Advocate.

 

Da Silva, 35, was taken to Jamaica Hospital after being unseated when his mount in the race, Honeywantshermoney, fell after the finish line, and was released after the X-rays came back negative.

 

According to Kevin Meyocks, da Silva’s agent, he is day-to-day and hopes to ride Thursday at Aqueduct. The Brazilian native has won eight races from 68 starts in 2011. He has won 673 races over the course of his riding career in North America, which started in 2004.

 

Honeywantshermoney, a 3-year-old filly trained by Rodrigo Ubillo, suffered fatal cardiovascular collapse.
