Jockey Jose Ortiz suffered a fractured right wrist after being tossed by his mount Atone during the post parade prior to Saturday's third race. Ortiz ultimately got back on Atone and rode the 3-year-old first time starter to a sixth place finish in the maiden special weight event.

Ortiz took off the remainder of his mounts on the card and went to the hospital where x-rays revealed the extent of his injury.

"It's a slight fracture, he'll see a specialist Tuesday or Wednesday and we'll know more then," Ortiz's agent Jimmy Riccio advised. "The fact they said it's a slight fracture, I'm hoping he'll only miss a few weeks. We'll be able to better update everyone the middle of next week."

Ortiz was slated to ride Tacitus for trainer Bill Mott two weeks from today in the $20 million Sauci Cup. 

"He won't be going to Saudi," said Riccio.

Ortiz is also the regular rider for Independence Hall, among the leading contenders for this year's Kentucky Derby.

"I've already talked to Aron Wellman and he said Independence won't be running in the next two or three weeks anyway, so hopefully Jose should be back in time for him," Riccio said.
