Jockey Ruben Fuentes has been suspended for a total of 11 race days due to a pair of careless riding infractions, according to a ruling published by Del Mar Thoroughbred Club stewards.
First, Fuentes was given four days for his ride aboard winner Quiet Secretary in Friday's ninth race. Stewards held an inquiry after Fuentes allowed his mount to drift out in the stretch, but did not change the order of finish.
Fuentes was cited again for his ride on Le Tub in Saturday's fifth race, in which the horse caused interference. Stewards added seven days to the penalty, since it was Fuentes' third careless riding infraction in the past 60 days.
The suspension dates will last from Sept. 5 to Oct. 4, though Fuentes will be allowed to ride in designated races.
