NEW YORK (AP) — Jockey Ramon Dominguez has made enough progress in the recovery from a fractured skull that he was transferred out of intensive care.
Dominguez was injured when his mount Convocation stumbled and fell in a race Jan. 18 at Aqueduct, pitching the rider onto the winterized inner track.
He was moved on Thursday from the neurological ICU at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center to a medical step-down unit, an intermediate location between the ICU and a regular inpatient room.
“Ramon’s doctors say he is recovering well, and we’re beginning to discuss his rehab options,” wife Sharon said in a statement.
