Kent Desormeaux was a visitor at Clockers’ Corner Monday morning, looking and feeling well as he recovers from five fractured ribs and a bruised lung suffered in a post parade mishap in the eighth race on Sept. 28.

“I’m feeling great, no pain, I can breathe like a normal human being and that’s the best part about it all,” he said. “It’s nice to be on my feet. I feel like a lucky man these days.”

Asked when he might resume riding, the 44-year-old Hall of Fame rider and three-time Kentucky Derby winner said, “I’m taking it day to day.”
