Jockey Keith Asmussen is set for his return to the saddle Saturday afternoon at Churchill Downs following more than three months on the sidelines because of a fractured femur and broken ribs, the track said in a press release Thursday.

The rider began getting back on horses in early August, and continued to regularly gallop and breeze horses for his father, Steve Asmussen.

The native Texan is named aboard Payne (Paynter) in the third race on Saturday and Vittorio (Ghostzapper) in the ninth on Sunday. Asmussen's riding career began in 2020 and he's amassed 131 wins from 946 starts with $8.8 million in purse earnings.
