Rajiv Maragh, who broke his arm when he was unseated from Wicked Strong during the Jockey Club Gold Cup on Sept. 27 at Belmont, likely will not return to race-riding until early December at Gulfstream Park. Maragh met with his doctor last week and was told that the bone has not fully healed. Maragh’s next visit with the doctor isn’t until Nov. 21.
