Jockey Luis Saez Will Ride Saturday

Jockey Luis Saez, who underwent X-rays Friday afternoon after a mishap in the gate before the fifth race, will ride Saturday at Gulfstream Park.

Saez complained of leg pain and was taken to Memorial Regional after Wild Card Hit became fractious in the gate. But X-rays proved negative, according to agent Richard DePass.

"He's perfectly fine," said DePass Saturday morning. "I was there when they wheeled him into X-rays and everything was clear. The doctor said he might have just bruised himself and that's why he was hurting a bit. But he was standing up, squatting...he was in no pain later. So he's riding today."

Saez rides 10 of Gulfstream's 11 races this afternoon, highlighted by the Sunshine Millions. Saez's mounts include Indiana Derby (G2) winner East Hall (5-2) in the $250,000 Sunshine Millions Classic and Dame Dorothy (9-2) in the $100,000 Filly & Mare Turf.
