Victor Espinoza, the Hall of Fame jockey who fractured a vertebrae in an accident at Del Mar on Sunday morning, on Monday morning remained in the intensive care unit at Scripps La Jolla Hospital with a neck brace keeping him immobilized, but he has feeling in all his limbs and doctors are encouraged that he’s going to make a full recovery, according to his agent, Brian Beach.

“His left arm, which had the stinger, is still sensitive to the touch,” Beach said. “The doctors want him to lay still, thinking that with rest that should calm down. They think he’s going to be completely fine.”

According to Beach, the fracture was to the transverse process to Espinoza’s C-3 vertebrae. “The doctors didn’t seem that concerned, but they want to make sure, and part of that is letting him rest until the nerves calm down,” Beach said.

Regardless, Espinoza will be sidelined for an indefinite period of time.
