Horse racing newsletter: Stewards’ rulings are back

Share

Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome to our horse racing newsletter as we see the jockey colony dealing with the coronavirus.

Before we get to the stewards’ rulings, we have to get to the top news story, the coronavirus sidelining Flavien Prat and Victor Espinoza. In addition, two out-of-town jockeys and a quarter-horse jockey also tested positive.

Prat had ridden Saturday in Keeneland on Saturday and was tested Sunday morning near Del Mar. The test came back positive and he was removed from his mounts. Prat and Espinoza joined Martin Garcia, Luis Saez and quarter-horse jockey Eduard Kennis Rojas Fernandez as having the virus. All have low to no symptoms. All of the thoroughbred jockeys raced on July 4, the biggest day of the Los Alamitos seven-day meeting.

Stewards’ rulings

If it’s Monday, it must be time for stewards’ rulings. These are entire two weeks of the Los Alamitos meeting, although not all the rulings are from Los Al. It should be noted that Eswan Flores hit the trifecta with three rulings. We think the last person to do that in a single newsletter was Norberto Arroyo, Jr.

So, let’s get to them.

--Trainer Rene Amescua is fined $400 for the late registration of Bodega as a bleeder in the sixth race on June 26. Bodega won the race by seven lengths for a $9,000 winning purse. A trainer’s standard share would be $900. Amescua accepted full responsibility.

--Jockey Eswan Flores was fined $100 for using his riding crop more than three times without allowing his mount, Trouville, respond in the first race on June 26. Trouville won by three-quarters of a length in a race in which in which she earned $10,200. The standard jockey’s share of that win would be $1,020. Flores admitted he violated the rule.

--Trainer Rafael DeLeon was fined $750 for the late declaration that Broken Finger had been gelded prior to the first race on May 22 at Santa Anita. He did report it that day but the mutuel windows had already been opened. The horse was scratched. The stewards’ minutes referred to the horse as “Broken Arrow” but the ruling said “Broken Finger.”

--This one has been reported previously but here’s he official ruling. Trainer John Sadler was fined $15,000 and suspended for 60 days (stayed to 15) after three horses—Field Bet in the seventh at Santa Anita on April 14, 2019; Jasika in the fifth at Santa Anita on April 28, 2019 and Sneem in the second at Golden Gate Fields on May, 10, 2019—tested positive for drug overages. It was negotiated that he would serve from June 29 to July 14, providing there were no other positives.

The positives were for gabapentin, a seizure medication, and clenbuterol, which can aid in breathing. Both are Class 3 medications. Filed Bet finished fifth, Jasikan was third and Sneem won his race.

Sadler issued the following statement: “As you know, trainers are liable for the condition of their horses regardless of the acts of third parties. The imposition of the trainer insurer rule requires only the detection of a prohibited substance in an official sample and identification of the trainer of the horse. The trainer insurer rule is not based on actual administration of a drug or negligent care. Fault is not an element of liability under the trainer insurer rule.

“The incidents covered by the settlement agreement and the penalties imposed under the agreement reflect the fact that these incidents resulted from circumstances beyond my control but which nonetheless are my responsibility. Two of these cases involved the passive transmission by a groom of a medication prescribed for his own medical condition. The other involved detection of a prohibited substance in a horse over which I did not have actual custody or control.”

--Jockey Assael Espinoza was fined $300 for excessive use of the riding crop on Market Sentiment, during the fifth race on June 27. The horse finished seventh in the eight-horse race. Espinoza was suspended two days for excessive use of the whip on Jan. 26 of this year. Espinoza acknowledged the violation.

--Jockey Eswan Flores was fined $200 for using the riding crop more than three times without letting his mount, Wishful, respond in the seventh race on June 27. Wishful finished second, earning $5,600. The standard jockey’s share of that purse is $560. It was Flores’ second violation in the last 60 days. Flores acknowledged the violation.

--Apprentice jockey Alexis Centeno was fined $100 for using the riding crop more than three times without letting his mount, Irish Ballad, respond in the first race on June 28. Irish Ballad finished second with a purse of $2,800. The standard jockey’s share would be $280. Centeno is new to the jockey colony and said he was not clear about the crop rules. The stewards said the rules were explained when he was granted a license. Steward Tom Ward voted for a warning.

--Jockey Assael Espinoza was given a three-day suspension (July 10, 11 and 12) for his ride aboard Short of Ez in the seventh race on June 28. The stewards determined that he didn’t make the proper effort to maintain a straight course and his use of the left-handed whip caused the horse to drift out. The horse won the allowance by three-quarters of a length and got a purse of $27,000. The standard jockey’s share of that would be $2,700. Espinoza said he “should have done better.”

--Jockey Eswan Flores was fined $200 when he failed to show up for his mount in the fourth race on July 2. Flores said he didn’t know there was racing on Thursday. The stewards explained he needed to communicate better with his agent.

--Apprentice jockey Victor Flores was fined $300 when a welt was discovered on the skin of The Last Ruler in the test barn after the running of the sixth race on Feb. 23 at Santa Anita. The discovery was made by safety steward Paul Atkinson, who photographed it. The horse won the race by three-quarters of a length. The first-place winnings were $33,000 making the standard jockey’s share $3,300. Flores apologized for the violation.

--Jockey Mario Gutierrez was suspended for three days (July 10, 11 and 12) for failure to maintain a straight course while riding Brahms Command in the eighth race on June 28. The stewards said Gutierrez shifted in at the half-pole causing contact with the inside horse. Gutierrez contended he was holding his lane. Brahams Command finished seventh and last in the race. It was a majority decision as steward Tom Ward voted for a warning.

--Trainer Gary Mandella was fined $500 when his horse Zusha tested positive for Phenylbutazone, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, in the eighth race on Feb. 15 at Santa Anita. The horse finished third. Mandella said he may have accidentally double-treated the mare.

--Apprentice jockey Victor Flores was fined $300 for excessive use of the riding crop on Mr. Vitamin in the seventh race on July 4. Mr. Vitamin finished eighth in the 10-horse race. The horse won $500 making the standard jockey’s share $50. Flores said he was sorry and had no excuse.

Del Mar review

Sunday’s feature was the $65,000 Osunitas Stakes for fillies and mares going a mile on the turf. It was a total wire job from Cordiality, who was handled brilliantly by Umberto Rispoli. The 7-year-old mare looked beatable at times but as the wire grew closer it was clear there was enough left in the tank.

Cordiality paid $18.40, $6.60 and $4.40. Super Patriot was second and Don’t Blame Judy finished third. Tim Yakteen was he winning trainer.
