Apprentice jockey Charlie Marquez will be out four weeks after fracturing his right wrist in the last race of Saturday's card at Belmont Park in Elmont, N.Y.
His agent, Hall of Fame rider Angel Cordero, Jr., said Marquez will return to ride at the fall meet at Aqueduct Racetrack, which runs from November 6 through December 6.
The 17-year-old Marquez won three races during the Belmont fall meet, starting with Wushu Warrior on September 25 and following with Forgotten Hero on October 1 and Noble Thought on October 4. He moved his tack from Maryland to New York at the beginning of the fall meet.
Marquez, aboard Rock N Warrior for Race 11 over Belmont's inner turf on Saturday, was unseated early on the backstretch in Saturday's finale. Rock N Warrior was apprehended and walked off under her own power.
