Race 2
Stewards inquiry and an objection from the rider of the third place finisher # 2 Run Blondie Run(Junior Alvarado) against the first place finisher #4 Jaunt(Jose Lezcano)for alleged interference in the vicinity of the 1/8 pole. #4 Jaunt while racing in the middle of the track drifts in towards the rail and #2 Run Blonde Run racing second on the rail has to take up sharply losing his momentum. After reviewing all the race angles and speaking with the riders involved, in the judgment of stewards this incident altered the finish of the race. The #4 Jaunt is disqualified and placed third. The new order of finish is 7.2.4.8.
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.
