Trainer Adolfo Exposito has been suspended one year and fined $1,000 after being charged with aggravated menacing and simple assault for an incident in which he allegedly attacked jockey Hector Rosario Jr. in the parking lot at Thistledown in suburban Cleveland.
Steve Zaper, interim chief investigator for the Ohio State Racing Commission, said Tuesday that Exposito is facing criminal charges in Bedford, Ohio, with a pre-trial hearing set for Aug. 30. Zaper said Exposito is alleged to have struck Rosario with his fist and threatened him with a gun.
The incident in question occurred July 27, although Zaper said he is unaware what sparked it since Rosario had not had any recent mounts for Exposito. A stewards’ hearing into the alleged attack was held July 30, said Zaper, at which time the maximum allowable penalty was levied against Exposito. Zaper said Exposito has appealed the decision to the commission, but Thistledown has exercised proprietary rights in excluding Exposito from the grounds. A Thistledown spokesperson said Tuesday the track had no comment on the matter.
Zaper said Exposito will need to reapply for a trainer’s license after his one-year suspension is served and the commission will review the application.
Exposito has raced primarily in Ohio and Pennsylvania in recent years while wintering at Tampa Bay Downs. He has 258 wins from 1,636 starters in a career dating to 1989.
Rosario is a 13-year riding veteran with 1,320 career wins.

Why doesn't Zaper know what sparked this incident? He should ask the Trainer! This was self defense on Mr Exposito's part after Jockey attacked him with a club in the parking lot of Thistledown. Why didn't Thistledown drug test this Jockey?

LOVE TO RUN was rarin' to go first out in two months, so much so that he rocketed through a six-furlong split of 1:08.79 seconds - faster than Cross Traffic in the Westchester at the same one-mile distance a few days earlier; back-to-back Belmont wins last year included one rallying from next-to-last, so he may make good use of outside draw to track COLIZEO. The latter drops to same second-level condition where he won big first off R-Rod claim; reunited with Jose Ortiz, who was aboard for that score on wet track.
