Jockey Irad Ortiz, Jr. has been suspended three days by NYRA stewards, reports the Daily Racing Form, for “careless riding” in the G1 Vosburgh Stakes on Oct. 9 at Belmont Park.
Ortiz rode second-place finisher Firenze Fire, and while there was no official inquiry or objection, the Equibase chart indicates that Firenze Fire “angled in early under urging bumped Baby Yoda forcing that rival into Good Effort and bothering both foes.”
Ortiz will serve the days on Sunday, Oct. 24, and Oct. 28-29.
