Jockey Eibar Coa, severely injured in a riding mishap following the conclusion of the sixth race at Gulfstream Park on Feb. 18, has regained significant movement in both his upper and lower body according to his agent Tito Fuentes.
Fuentes said Coa is moving his arms and his legs and is sitting up in bed and speaking clearly.
"Eibar is still not able to get out of bed and walk but he is wiggling his legs around like crazy and is making good progress," said Fuentes. "His spirits are excellent and at the moment his prognosis is very good."
Coa was recently moved to room 519 in the Rehabilitation Center at Memorial Regional Hospital South in Hollywood.
