Layt was dislodged soon after the winning post following his ride on Olmeto in race 5 at Queanbeyan on 15th April when the horse went through the running rail.
"I am planning on returning to race riding on Saturday week [19th June]," Layt said today.
"I received extensive bruising to my thigh and damaged the ligaments in my right knee and ankle.
"I've since finished physio and I am now back at trackwork and the gym, trying to get fit. I also intend to ride in a few trials next week."
Adrian Layt's Riders' Agent is Greg Burke (0407 708 003) - ironically, the name of the race in which he fell was the Greg Burke Management Handicap.
