Welcome back...
from the racingpost!

GODOLPHIN number two KerrinMcEvoy will have his first rides in two months on Saturday after recovering from head injuries suffered in a fall during Melbourne Cup week.

Former Hong Kong runner Lucky Unicorn is his lead mount for Tony Vasil in the Listed Barton Stakes over 1,400m at Caulfield.

Doctors gave McEvoy medical clearance just before Christmas and he started riding trackwork at the start of January, according to racingandsports.com.au.

"I've been riding work for about 10 days now and I'm looking forward to Saturday," McEvoy said.

McEvoy was in hospital for four days after he suffered bruising to the brain and lacerations when his mount Butterfield and Vie both fell in the Crown Trophy on November 9. "I had a good time off," McEvoy said. "My fitness isn't 100 per cent just yet, but and I'm ready to go to the races again."

McEvoy said his weight had been steady during his enforced layoff and he was comfortable riding at 53kg (about 8st 5lb). "I'm lucky with my weight," he said.

McEvoy, 26, was scheduled to fly back to Dubai to join the Godolphin operation on Monday but will delay those plans to attend the funeral of former jockey Brigid Payne, who died suddenly this week.

Payne's sister Cathy is McEvoy's girlfriend. A date for the funeral hasyet to be finalised.
