Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 26, 2022 Journalists Posted October 26, 2022 Every week, the TDN publishes a roundup of key official rulings from the primary tracks within the four major racing jurisdictions of California, New York, Florida and Kentucky. Here's a primer on how each of these jurisdictions adjudicates different offenses, what they make public (or not) and where. With the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act (HISA) having gone into effect on July 1, the TDN will also post a roundup of the relevant HISA-related rulings from the same week. California Track: Santa Anita Date: 10/22/2022 Licensee: Diego Herrera, jockey Penalty: One-day suspension, $250 fine Violation: Appeal dismissed, original ruling on excessive use of whip reinstated Explainer: Having received notice from The Horse Racing Safety and Integrity Authority (HISA) that the appeal of Ruling LAFL #18 issued on July 4, 2022, has been withdrawn and being informed that HISA has dismissed the Appellant's appeal with prejudice, pursuant to HISA Rule 8350(i). The original ruling is reinstated. Jockey Diego Herrerais suspended for one (1) racing day (October 28, 2022), fined $250.00 and assigned three (3) violation points that will be expunged on April 22, 2023. Track: Santa Anita Date: 10/22/2022 Licensee: Ryan Curatolo, jockey Penalty: One-day suspension, $250 fine Violation: Appeal dismissed, original ruling on excessive use of whip reinstated Explainer: Having received notice from The Horse Racing Safety and Integrity Authority (HISA) that the appeal of Ruling LAFL #23 issued on July 10, 2022, has been withdrawn and being informed that HISA has dismissed the Appellant's appeal with prejudice, pursuant to HISA Rule 8350(i). The original ruling is reinstated. Jockey Ryan Curatolois suspended for one (1) racing day (October 28, 2022), fined $250.00 and assigned three (3) violation points that will be expunged on April 22, 2023. Pursuant to California Horse Racing Board rule #1766 (Designated Races), the term of suspension shall not prohibit participation in designated races. Rule #1532. Fine shall be paid to the Paymaster within seven calendar days from the date of this ruling, or the license of the person upon whom the fine has been imposed shall be suspended. New York Track: Aqueduct Date: 10/20/2022 Licensee: Keith Doleshel, racing official Penalty: $2,000 Violation: Failing to conduct business in a professional manner. Explainer: Mr. Keith Doleshel is hereby fined the sum of $2,000 dollars for failing to conduct business in a professional manner. Track: Aqueduct Date: 10/20/2022 Licensee: Juan Adrovar, jockey agent Penalty: $250 Violation: Failing to tend to business in a professional manner. Explainer: Jockey agent Mr. Juan Adrover is fined the sum of $250 dollars for failing to tend to business in a professional manner. The TDN has asked both the New York State Gaming Commission and the New York Racing Association (NYRA) to elaborate on the details for the two rulings above. The Gaming Commission failed to respond before deadline. NYRA spokesperson, Pat McKenna, wrote in an email: “The rules of racing in New York State require individuals to be licensed by the New York State Gaming Commission (NYSGC) and registered with The Jockey Club to be authorized to claim a horse. Due to an unintentional administrative error, an unauthorized agent claimed a horse during the 2022 summer meet at Saratoga Race Course. NYRA subsequently discovered the error and notified the NYSGC of its findings. NYRA continues to question the NYSGC rationale for issuing significant financial penalties to individual NYRA employees for inadvertent administrative or clerical errors.” NEW HISA STEWARDS RULINGS Note: While HISA has shared these rulings over the past week, some of them originate from prior weeks.
