?q=100)
Dylan Davis, who suffered multiple injuries including multiple broken ribs as well as having a kidney removed as the result of a spill at Aqueduct on Nov. 14, was scheduled to return to race-riding this weekend at Gulfstream Park.
Davis was named on two horses on Saturday’s 14-race card, including Public Defender in the Grade 3 Honey Fox. He will ride four horses on Sunday. On Friday, Davis was at the Palm Meadows training center, where he breezed five horses, including two on the turf.
“My body feels good, I just got to get adjusted to the heat a little bit,” Davis said. “I needed a little water for my second turf breezer, but my body feels good.”
Davis said he will ride at Gulfstream in March and will ride at Keeneland in April.
“We decided to shoot towards Keeneland next month, try something new,” said Davis, who is represented by agent Mike Migliore. “Very excited to get back going.”
