Jockey Angel Cordero Jr. has been suspended for seven days by Belmont Park stewards for careless riding.

The suspension will begin Thursday and extends through Sept. 19.

Cordero was suspended for his ride aboard Naberto in Saturday’s fifth race at Belmont. One horse impeded by Naberto was Rubigo, with Chris Antley aboard. Antley suffered a gash on his right elbow after Rubigo fell. Antley is expected to be sidelined for about a week.
