Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted January 4, 2023 Journalists Posted January 4, 2023 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: 12/31/2022 Licensee: Kazushi Kimura, jockey Penalty: Three-day suspension Violation: Careless riding Explainer: Jockey Kazushi Kimura, who rode Luminiferous in the first race at Santa Anita Park on December 30, 2022, is suspended for 3 racing days (January 7, 8 and 13, 2023) for altering course without sufficient clearance and causing interference in the stretch. This constitutes a violation of California Horse Racing Board rule #1699 (Riding Rules – careless riding). Pursuant to California Horse Racing Board rule #1766 (Designated Races), the term of suspension shall not prohibit participation in designated races. NEW HISA STEWARDS RULINGS The following rulings were reported on HISA's “rulings” portal, except for the voided claim rulings which were sent to the TDN directly. Some of these rulings are from prior weeks as they were not reported contemporaneously. One important note: HISA's whip use limit is restricted to six strikes during a race.
