OZONE PARK, N.Y. - Apprentice rider Luis Reyes was released from Jamaica Hospital on Saturday night after having gone down in an ugly spill in the second race at Aqueduct earlier in the day.
Blake Dutrow, Reyes's agent, confirmed that Reyes had escaped the fall with no fractured bones.
Reyes was aboard Hy Brasil, who was rallying to contention in the stretch of the one-mile grass race for $40,000 claimers when he broke down in his right front, throwing Reyes forward to the turf. Hy Brasil, who was euthanized after the race, may have kicked Reyes when he went past.
