MYSTICISM (f, 2, War Front–Clairvoyance, by Arch) caught a flier on debut here and despite drifting in greenly, corrected quickly to set all the fractions on a wholly uncontested lead in :23.04 and a half in :46.30. Headstrong passing that half, she rated better coming two wide around the turn and responded when asked to produce a second wind in the stretch. Her advantage diminishing, but not fast enough, Mysticism sailed in 1 1/4 lengths to the good over Cailin Dana (Oscar Performance), who came on from the rear to take second.

Jockey Romero Gets 30 Days, Fined $1,000; Penalty Halved for Not Appealing

Jockey Gregory Romero reportedly has been suspended 30 days and fined $1,000 by the Belterra Park stewards two days after he eased up on a 9-1 mount that led in the shadow of the wire but ended up getting beaten by a neck by a more assertively ridden favorite.

Romero's penalty was first reported Friday afternoon by the Paulick Report.

On Thursday, Belterra steward Ron Herbstreit declined an opportunity to comment to TDN about the matter. A Friday morning email TDN sent to Ohio State Racing Commission executive director Christopher Dragone requesting a copy of the ruling remained unanswered at the time of deadline for this story.

“After considering all testimony and evidence during this hearing, the Board of Stewards determined that Jockey Gregory Romero misjudged the finish line and failed to persevere through the wire which cost his mount a position,” stated the ruling published by the Paulick Report. “Therefore, Jockey Gregory Romero is fined $1,000 and suspended 30 days. This penalty will be reduced to $500 and suspended 15 days, if not appealed.”

The Paulick Report stated that Romero waived his right to appeal, meaning he'll end up serving his reduced days Aug, 9-23.

 

 

Romero attained the lead aboard Scooteranddabigman (Mor Spirit) in deep stretch of the fourth race at Belterra Aug. 2, a five-furlong, NW2L $12,500 claiming turf sprint. He encouraged his mount with right-handed stick work into the final sixteenth of a mile, then lowered his whip alongside his right leg while keeping his left hand on the reins. With Hillbilly Logic (Elusive Quality) closing fast to the outside under John McKee, Romero twice glanced to his right but did not urge his mount to counter the move.

Romero has been riding since 2016 with a 32-for-297 career win record. This season he's 3-for-29, and Wednesday's mount was his first opportunity to ride since July 15.
