NEW YORK (AP) Apprentice jockey Amanda Casey remains in intensive care after being kicked in the side by a horse at Aqueduct.

Joe Ceraulo, her agent, said Casey had a bruised liver and internal bleeding after being kicked by Karakorum Jete before the ninth and final race on Friday. She was taken by ambulance to North Shore University Hospital.

Ceraulo said doctors didn't have to perform surgery. He expects the 26-year-old Casey to remain hospitalized for at least a week.

The native of South Glens Falls, N.Y., began riding in 2007 and has 16 wins in 326 mounts.
