Race #10 - Stewards inquiry and Jockeys objection into the stretch run from the #7 Doctor J Dub(Ricardo Santana Jr.) against the #3 We Deer You(Irad Ortiz Jr.) for alleged interference. The # 7 steadies after the winner # 3 has already gone past him. After reviewing the video and speaking to the riders involved the claim of foul is disallowed and the race is official as is. The order of finish is 3-8-6-5
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 - Stewards inquiry regarding multiple interference in deep stretch. #4 With Exultation(Angel Arroyo) came out sharply slamming into #10 Uncle Youdge (Kendrick Carmouche) and #1 The Crocheron Kid (Eric Cancel) causing both to take up sharply. After reviewing the video and speaking to the riders involved it was the determination of the stewards that the interference altered the order of finish and #4 With Exultation was demoted from 2nd and 5th placed behind #10 Uncle Youghe.
