Jockey Trevor McCarthy is preparing to return to race-riding on or around March 3, the Daily Racing Form reports, having gotten on horses for the first time since a Nov. 18 accident that left him with a broken collarbone and pelvic injury.
“Just scraping off the cobwebs and the dust, getting fit,” McCarthy told DRF Wednesday. “I feel great. I definitely have to get my legs back a little bit. I've been working out in the gym for a few weeks, doing the physical therapy. I'm not too far off where I want to be.”
The incident occurred at Aqueduct: McCarthy's mount Ever Summer clipped heels with a rival and the jockey had to be taken off the track on a backboard.
During his three months out of the saddle, McCarthy enjoyed spending time with his wife, jockey Katie Davis, and their 14-month-old daughter. He has especially enjoyed his wife's recent success at Aqueduct, cheering her home as she won Sunday's $100,000 Broadway Stakes aboard Funny How.
