Default CHRB refuses to dismiss Rosario case

FULL: http://www.drf.com/news/article/109334.html

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Three California Horse Racing Board stewards denied a request from jockey Joel Rosario's attorney on Thursday to dismiss a case alleging that the jockey failed to put forth his best effort in a turf race at Del Mar on Sept. 6.

The case will resume Dec. 11, with defense testimony from Rosario and others. Rosario, the leading rider at the Del Mar meeting, could face a fine or suspension if he is found in violation of the rules.

It looked odd, but you see odd stuff all the time.......frankly if the story about Vic asking if he the horse was for sale had not come out I wonder how this story plays out.

I agree and the problem is that if you hear about that first then watch the race it seems easy to get suspicious.

Personally, I think it was a pretty strange ride. I don't know if this wild goose chase is worth it but it's easy to get a little skeptical watching it.

thats what i'm wondering. the actions after the fact brought on suspicion or is the ride that bad? it was maidens so the horses themselves sometimes run weird. green , stop and go. i gotta see that replay.

Does Vic share in 1/4 of the attorney fees?

There are other threads that have beaten this one into the polytrack.....

It looked bad, though not illegal, when Vic inquired about the horse being available for sale after Rosario came in 4th in that turf race the trainer believed the horse was a lock for only the day before.

Why the CHRB is choosing this ride to get tough seems a bit much for a horse who led a race during the initial stages is caught and then at best could have possibly challenged for a hotly contested third.

If they are going to discipline Rosario for this they better be consistent about this standard going forward. Hopefully Steve will ask the West Coast connection about this today.

The ride looked a dubious but there is hardly proof that anything funny was going on and if it was not for Glenny saying Vic wanted to know if the horse was for sale afterward..and there was never anything with that in the investigation, at least publicly.
