Digest: Shoulder surgery sidelines standout jockey Trevor McCarthy six months

Jockey Trevor McCarthy, Maryland's leading rider two of the past three years who recently earned his 1,000th career victory, is in the early stages of recovery from successful surgery on his injured left shoulder this week. McCarthy's agent, Scott Silver, said the 23-year-old rider, who ranked among the winningest jockeys in the country at the time of his injury, will be sidelined a minimum of six months and is projected to return near the end of this year or early 2018. "He had surgery on Monday and everything went really well. He's probably going to be in a sling for about a month to six weeks, and then he'll start rehab," Silver said. "He cannot get on a horse for six months, so we're probably looking at 61/2-7 months before he can ride." McCarthy suffered a broken right pinky finger and dislocated shoulder when he landed awkwardly after being thrown when his mount, Skip the Talk, attempted to jump over a fallen horse in a May 21 turf race at Monmouth Park.

Duncan, who transferred from Calvert County's Northern to St. Frances for his senior season, committed to coach DJ Durkin over offers from several national programs, including Penn State, Ohio State, UCLA and others.
