Kylee Jordan expected to miss time with shoulder injury

Jockey Kylee Jordan will be sidelined through at least next Friday as she awaits more diagnostics on a shoulder she injured during a Feb. 2 race at Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Ark.

Jordan dislocated her shoulder during the running of the fourth race, which she won aboard Sweet Mother Mary ($32.80). Following the race, family members took her to the emergency room. She was released that night, and is awaiting an MRI, agent Bobby Dean said Friday.

“She is feeling better,” he said. “We need to get an MRI before we go forward.”

Dean said the injury happened when Jordan went to stick her mount. He said the family has been working to schedule an MRI.

Jordan has won riding titles at Will Rogers Downs and Prairie Meadows and was the regular rider of multiple stakes winner Tyler's Tribe.

Delany injured at Delta

Trainer Sarah Delany was in a Houston hospital on Friday, recovering from injuries sustained Wednesday at Delta Downs in Vinton, La. She said she was helping with a horse experiencing colic when she was kicked. Delany said Thursday she had come through spinal surgery and was expected to spend nine days in the hospital – four of them in ICU.

Delany said her husband is attending to her stable. She said a full recovery is expected.

Delany is a longtime fixture at tracks in Louisiana and Texas. She trained the multiple stakes winner Corluna.
