Jockey Ramon Dominguez, who suffered a skull fracture in a spill last Friday at Aqueduct, was transferred yesterday from Jamaica Hospital in Queens to New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center in Manhattan, where he is undergoing further evaluation.
“Ramon is doing really well and resting comfortably,” said his wife, Sharon Dominguez. “I can’t thank the doctors and staff enough at Jamaica Hospital for the superb care they provided to Ramon.
“With an injury like this, we thought it was important to seek a second opinion, which is why we decided to change hospitals.”
There is no timetable for Dominguez’s release.
“We’re so grateful for the concern, support, and well-wishes from the racing community and Ramon’s fans,” said Sharon Dominguez.
“We will continue to provide periodic updates on his condition through NYRA. Ramon is improving steadily, but needs to rest as he recovers, and his doctors have prohibited him from having visitors at this time.”
