💨 Abstract

A Kentucky Derby-winning jockey, Junior Alvarado, is considering an appeal after being fined $62,000 and suspended for two days. The Horse Racing Integrity and Safety Authority penalized him for using his whip eight times during the race, exceeding the allowed six uses. Alvarado maintains that he did not abuse the horse and argues that the punishment is disproportionate. He has 10 days to decide on an appeal.
