Trujillo suspended three days
DEL MAR, Calif. - Jockey Elvis Trujillo, who leads the standings here with 16 wins through Friday, was suspended three days for causing interference in a race Thursday, a penalty he plans to appeal, according to his agent, Tom Knust.
Trujillo was cited for his ride on John’s Success, who finished third in a maiden claimer over six furlongs in Thursday’s third race. The suspension is scheduled to start Thursday and run for three racing days, through Saturday. A successful appeal would allow the 30-year-old Trujillo to continue riding until the case is heard.
Jockey Felipe Martinez has been suspended for three days for causing interference on Mahalo Arturo in the eighth race Thursday. Mahalo Arturo was disqualified from fifth and placed last for causing interference going into the turn.
The suspension begins Thursday.
