Having been released from Northwell Hospital, where he was sent after a serious spill on Nov. 14 at Aqueduct, in which he suffered serious injuries, Dylan Davis is back home and expects to return to riding sometime in January or February. Davis was given an update and the predicted time of return by his orthopedist after a visit Monday. “It's better now that I am home,” Davis said. “I spent 10 days in the hospital after that accident. I wound up getting surgery on my right collarbone. That was all that was needed. Each day gets better and better.” Davis's problems began when Heavyweight Champs (Solomini), who was being ridden by Ricardo Santana, Jr., broke down in front of his mount Tarpaulin (Leofric), causing Tarpaulin and Davis to fall over the sprawling horse. Davis wound up breaking his right collarbone and had multiple fractured ribs as well as a collapsed lung. He admitted that the accident, the most serious of his career, took quite a toll on him at first. “This was the most painful fall I've ever had in all of my career,” he said. “I ended up tipping over Santana's horse and my horse and I fell. I ended up getting stepped on as well. I had a big list of injuries. Mentally, this was very tough to get through. Once I was able to get out of the hospital and get home with my family, that was a big step for me. When that happened, I felt a lot better mentally. The first week or two was really tough for me.” He is now healthy enough to have begun physical therapy. “I got very fortunate,” he said. “This could have been worse. My legs are good and nothing happened to my spine or neck. Right now, it's really just the ribs and the collarbone area on the right side. I just started physical therapy. I'll be going two to three times a week. And then I will have some visits with the doctors, who will be taking scans to make sure that everything is healing properly.” Davis, a mainstay in New York since beginning his career in 2012, ventured to Gulfstream for the Championship Meet last year for the first time in his career. He had a successful run, winning 38 races from 298 mounts. But he said he will not be heading back to South Florida next year and will instead ride regularly at Aqueduct. Aqueduct is familiar territory for Davis. He has won two titles during the winter meet at the Big A, in 2022 and 2024. During those same two years he also led all New York-based jockeys when it comes to total wins for the year. Sometimes, jockeys have a hard time regaining their momentum when returning from a long layoff after a spill. Considering his past success in New York during the winter months, Davis doesn't expect he'll have many problems picking up where he left off. However, the competition will be stiffer than ever considering that Flavien Prat plans to spend his winter riding at Aqueduct. “I don't think I'm going to have a problem when I come back,” he said. “When I make my return it will be in the wintertime. I think it's going to be a little easier to get my momentum back at that time of year. Also, being a previous title winner at NYRA and being a leading year-end rider, I've built up a lot of business in New York. I have built up a lot of loyalty with the trainers and the horsemen over the years that I have been riding there. I'm not going to expect to jump right back in. I have to make sure that I am mentally ready and physically ready so that I can come back strong. I don't think it will be an issue in the wintertime.” The post Dylan Davis Expects to Be Out of Action for Another 2, 3 Months appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

That's where you theory falls down. You assume that the Clubs were ever earning enough to pay their way or put enough in reserve to maintain their assets. These Clubs looked financial on their balance sheets as their assets valuations increased but the reality is the operating revenue was never enough for the rainy day that was inevitable. I'm not talking about a fair return on capital I'm talking about generating enough revenue to maintain the assets. Volunteers, donations and sponsorship helped build the assets (often even the land has been gifted) but as that source of assistance has dropped away so has the ability of clubs to maintain what they often have been given. -

No Levin only have $1.2m in the bank. The irony of course is that cash came from selling off a large chunk of land. Then there was some creative accounting involving the three Trusts. The sums involved jumped between cash in the bank and Trust loans. Operationally they run at a loss. Even though they pay a peppercorn rental for the use of Otaki on raceday. Levin has done the exact same thing that you all point the finger at other clubs for doing. Yes Levin has done a wonderful job at providing a jumpout venue. -
It should have come from what the clubs were earning as it always had before.
