Lenny Pike will no longer represent the suspended jockey Robby Albarado, and has accepted a position as agent for jockey Shaun Bridgmohan.
The change comes just days after Albarado was arrested for fourth-degree domestic violence, an incident that led Kentucky stewards to suspend him indefinitely, pending an evaluation by the Licensing Committee of the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission.
At a Tuesday arraignment, Albarado pleaded not guilty to the charge.
“Robby and I have been together for 16 years, and by no means is this the end of our relationship,” Pike said. “In the meantime, I was afforded an opportunity to go to work for Shaun, and I accepted.”
Bridgmohan’s former agent, Anthony Martin, is expected to return to Louisiana, where he has spent time previously as an agent.
Albarado could meet with the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission as early as its next scheduled meeting May 16.
Albarado was arrested Friday morning, Kentucky Oaks Day, and was unable to fulfill his mounts. He was suspended indefinitely by track stewards later that afternoon, causing him to miss several stakes mounts on the Kentucky Derby card.
Albarado, best known as the rider of two-time Horse of the Year Curlin, is alleged to have assaulted Carolina Martinez on May 1 at his Louisville home, according to Carl Yates, spokesman for the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department. Martinez was later treated in a Louisville hospital for an injured shoulder and bruising to her legs, Yates said.
Last year Albarado was charged with assaulting a different woman, his wife, Kimber, although charges of domestic assault and wanton endangerment were dismissed and he pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of interfering with a witness.
The Associated Press reported Friday that his wife has filed for divorce.

No matter what the facts in this case are, this sounds like an anger management issue more than anything else, given his priors. And while that's an obvious statement to make, it's a pretty loud cry for help to get arrested for the same crime two years running. This is something he needs to tend to, no matter the circumstances, and if it means he takes a break or even relocates to a smaller track, if it helps him address his issues and re-prioritize his life, maybe it's for the best.

Please wait until Robbie has his day in court. Do not convict him in the media. EVERYONE has a right in this country. You are INNOCENT until PROCEN guilty. I wish and pray all ends well. I do find it odd that the woman waited so long to file her complaint. Thank you , Bob Darling

I have no idea as to what really happened with Robby Albarado and I,
therefore cannot say who is right or wrong. He plead not guilty so, he
is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Any further commenting by me would simply be speculation.
Hope it all works out, at least for the sake of the sport. Everyone is still
in shock over the murder a few hours after the derby ended.

What a rocket scientist she is, cause a fight right before your man rides on one of the biggest racing weekends? Didn't she know about the what is yours is now mine angle most of these backstretch bimbo's clamor for.

This guy behaves terribly as a person. He may be a good jockey, but should be banned for his bad off-track behavior.

I just played poker with him last Thursday night and no idea that he was such a scum bag. Just goes to prove that nobody knows what is going on behind the scenes of peoples lives.

LORD CHELSIE has been away since February but he has speed and the rail, and given the general lack of pace in this opener he should be able to take advantage of this pace advantage, as long as he breaks alertly and outruns OMINOUS THOMAS for the lead; past success over this strip adds to the appeal. OMINOUS THOMAS failed to make the lead in a shorter race that was loaded with speed last time; back at six furlongs today, and this is a much better race flow for him.
