GLYN Schofield hasn't ruled himself out of a miracle comeback to ride Hay List in a showdown with Black Caviar in Brisbane next start, reports the Sydney Daily Telegraph.
It says: And Hay List's trainer John McNair said yesterday he would give Schofield all the time he needs to prove his fitness to ride the powerhouse sprinter in the Group 1 $400,000 BTC Cup (1200m) at Doomben on May 14.
The champion jockey broke his right collarbone in a fall from Hawk Island in the Sydney Cup last Saturday but he has vowed to do whatever it takes to ride Hay List in his return clash with champion Black Caviar. Schofield was injured just prior to Hay List's runaway win in the Group 1 All Aged Stakes at Royal Randwick.
The champion jockey was operated on by specialist Dr David Duckworth earlier this week but was well enough to return home yesterday. "Dr Duckworth came in on Easter Monday to do the operation," Schofield said. "He inserted a plate in my right collarbone which will aid my recovery and I've got to say my shoulder feels pretty good at the moment."
Schofield was told his collarbone needs three-to-four weeks to heal, but there are only 18 days to the BTC Cup.
"It's going to be tight," the jockey admitted. "But I'm giving myself every chance to be fit to ride Hay List."
