Jockey Ramon Dominguez has begun a brain injury rehabilitation program at a hospital in White Plains, N.Y., as he continues to recover from a fractured skull he suffered in a spill at Aqueduct last month.
Last Wednesday, Dominguez was transferred from New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center in Manhattan to the Burke Rehabilitation Hospital. It is uncertain how long he will have to remain at Burke.
"Ramon continues to do well and is improving every day," Sharon Dominguez, Ramon's wife, said in a press release issued through the New York Racing Association. "He was transferred to Burke on Wednesday, completed initial evaluations on Thursday, and started a brain injury rehabilitation program on Friday.
"As Ramon takes the next steps in his treatment, he and I would like to thank everyone again for the continued support and prayers." Dominguez added. "Although his injury will take time to heal, Ramon is on the road to a full recovery."
Dominguez, 36, was injured in a spill at Aqueduct on Jan. 18 when the horse he was riding, Convocation, clipped heels with a horse in front of him and fell, hurling Dominguez to the ground.
Dominguez spent five days in Jamaica Medical Center Hospital near Aqueduct before being transferred on Jan. 22 to New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell.
Dominguez was moved out of the intensive care unit of New York-Presbyterian on Jan. 24 before moving to Burke last week.
On Jan. 19, Dominguez was honored with his third straight Eclipse Award as North America's outstanding jockey. In 2012, he set a single-year North American earnings record with $25.6 million. He has been the leading rider on the New York Racing Association circuit for the last four years.
It was great working with you this past summer in Saratoga. You are a true gentleman and a superb jockey. Please hurry back to Saratoga. Our thoughts and prayers are with you everyday for your speedy and complete recovery. God Bless you and keep your family encouraged.

Ramon, I KNOW you will fully recover. I would expect no less from you. I would also like to mention that Mrs Dominguez deserves a lot of credit too. She is a true partner. It is obvious that there is a lot of love there and that will surely help Ramon heal.
Hope to see you at Saratoga this summer.

Based on what i have read, and hopefully assuming that this is not smoke being puffed, I would bet that Ramon will be ready for the Saratoga meet.

Get well soon and its time to hang up the tack before something more serious happens. Think of your wife children and the rest of your family and find another profession to make a living.

MONCLOVA galloped out strongly after closing belatedly in her second trip postward May 26, from which the runner-up exited to graduate with a 68 Beyer. The daughter of Queen's Plate winner Niigon is bred to run long, and can break through with the stretchout from six and a half furlongs to a mile and a sixteenth. BE MIND PHIL is returning on short rest off a closing second in her debut, going a mile around one turn on the grass. She has a blend of speed and stamina in her pedigree.
