Race 1 - Stewards’ inquiry into the start. The #7 Hickory Made (Samuel Camacho, Jr.) breaks in and comes in several paths, causing the #6 Lots to Like (Joel Rosario) to check. After reviewing the video and speaking to the riders involved, the stewards did not believe the outcome of the race was affected. The race was made official as is 4-2-7-3.

With regard to interference, New York is a “Category 2” state, meaning that Commission rules provide that if the interferer is guilty of causing interference and such interference in the judgment of the Stewards has altered the finish of the race, then the interferer is placed behind the offended horse.

The Stewards consider whether the riders of the horse or horses that are offended continue to give effort to the finish of the race.

The Stewards also consider whether the offending jockey acted in a willful or careless manner while interfering with another horse or jockey, for which the interferer may be disqualified, i.e., placed last or unplaced in the order of finish. For example, if an offending jockey acts in a dangerous manner, exhibits extremely improper riding or impedes several horses, the Stewards may disqualify the offending horse without regard to the specific effect of the foul on the order of finish.

Race 7 - Trainer’s objection into the stretch run. Approaching the 1/16th pole the #1 Overtime Olivia (Reylu Gutierrez) takes a step out while #2 Gilda Marie (Junior Alvarado) is running alongside of him with no contact being made. After reviewing the video and speaking to the riders involved the trainer’s objection was disallowed. The race is official as is 4-1-2-9.
