💨 Abstract

Jockey Junior Alvarado is contemplating an appeal against a $62,000 fine and two-day suspension for using his whip eight times during the Kentucky Derby. The Horse Racing Integrity and Safety Authority penalized him, as rules permit only six whip uses per race. Alvarado maintains he did not abuse the horse and believes the punishment is unfair. He has 10 days to decide on the appeal.
