without speculating what Rene did...what are some past fractions thay have gotten jockeys barred? Will the jockeys guild step in and negotiate, meaning have they done something like that in the past?

I have no idea. Anything would be speculation on my part and I don't want to do that.

To be fair, they may not have made an announcement, the story may have spread causing Mike Welsch to investigate.
I'm not saying that's the case but these stories make their way around the racetrack in a hurry. I imagine the reason will be out very shortly.

In the recent past, Calder "ruled off" another jockey in the same manner. Apparantly it prevents the jockey from obtaining legal counsel in order to get an appeal on a stewards ruling. If I remember the details correctly, the other jockey that was ruled off in this manner did not perservere with his mount, thereby causing the order of finish to obviously be different.
Reading the charts (Douglas' mounts) for the past 4-5 days may shed some light on the facts. I don't feel that Calder does this without some merit.

Weird... he was the king of Calder when I worked there back in the early 90s, even winning seven on a day once. He's had a very rough patch recently, what with his brother dying of an overdose and his father battling illness. I can't imagine what he's done to cause Calder to do this, but if I know Ken Dunn it's not something to snivel at. And I'd go so far as to say it's got little to do with any kind of riding infraction as the races are governed by the FL Dept of Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Calder has to follow their procedures first.
It'll be interesting to see what shakes out in the next few days...
