Bejarano news.....
This was on BH.....
Bejarano Off Friday Mounts at Saratoga by Claire E. Novak Jockey Rafael Bejarano took off his mounts at Saratoga Race Course after feeling pain from an undetermined injury in his left side Friday. Bejarano, who ranked eighth in the standings going into the afternoon card, had visited the track's first aid station earlier Friday for a complete set of chest and rib X-rays, which came back negative. He complained of trouble breathing after riding two of the earlier carded races and checked himself into first aid again. "The pain comes and goes," said the jockey's agent, Joe Ferrer. "He'll be off for the rest of the day and hopefully we'll be able to figure out what's wrong." Ferrer said the pain may be related to an undetected injury suffered Aug.14, when Bejarano's mount in the ninth race, Tizlater, fell at the head of the stretch. "I don't know if it's from that or not," Ferrer said. "He's been riding fine for the past eight days, so I have no idea what's wrong." Doctors at Saratoga's first aid station refused to comment on Bejarano's situation. It was unknown whether Bejarano would require hospitalization.

It's as Danzig said.....
From BH... Bejarano to Miss Remainder of Saratoga Meet by Claire E. Novak Jockey Rafael Bejarano, who took off his mounts at Saratoga Race Course Friday after complaining of pain in his side and trouble breathing, will be out for an undetermined amount of time due to multiple rib injuries sustained in a fall on August 14, said his agent, Joe Ferrer. Bejarano is expected to return to Kentucky to recover. According to Ferrer, doctors discovered a hairline fracture and a crack in two separate ribs on Bejarano's right side. The injury was detected Friday, eleven days after Bejarano was thrown when his mount, Tizlater, fell at the head of the stretch and unseated the rider in the ninth race. Bejarano walked back to the jockeys' room after an examination in first aid and later visited Saratoga Hospital for a complete set of chest and rib x-rays, but no injuries were initially detected. The jockey rode 29 mounts over the next nine racing days and ranked eighth in the standings with 18 wins, but finally took off his mounts after riding two races on Friday's card. He complained of trouble breathing and checked himself into the track's first aid station again. The rib injuries were discovered after more in-depth x-rays taken later Friday. "He's going to have to see a doctor again today," Ferrer said Saturday. "I don't know how long he'll be off – at least Saturday, Sunday, and Monday for sure. There's nothing they can do about cracked ribs – they just have to take time to heal."
