Kentucky stewards have issued a three-day suspension for “careless riding” to jockey Flavian Prat after he was involved in an incident that unseated Tyler Gaffalione and caused a fatal injury to a horse at Keeneland on Wednesday, reports the Daily Racing Form.
Prat was aboard Foreign Relations in the sixth race, and swerved into Gaffalione's mount Master of the Ring in mid-stretch en route to crossing the wire in front. Master of the Ring fell to the turf and had to be euthanized as a result of his injuries; Gaffalione walked away and rode his mount in the next race on the card. Foreign Relations was disqualified from first to last.
Prat will not appeal the penalty, and will serve his days Wednesday through Friday next week.
