Turfway exerciser upgraded to fair

An exercise rider has been upgraded to fair condition after being thrown from a horse last month. Clyde Bramble hit the rail after a strap apparently broke on the harness while he exercised a horse March 29 at Turfway Park. Earlier this year, jockey Michael Rowland died from injuries he received in a fall during a race at Turfway.
