Here's a primer on how each of these jurisdictions adjudicates different offenses, what they make public (or not) and where.

With the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act (HISA) having gone into effect on July 1, the TDN will also post a roundup of the relevant HISA-related rulings from the same week.

New York

Track: Aqueduct
Date: 10/29/2022
Licensee: Caitlin Owen, racing official
Penalty: $500 fine
Violation: Failure to administer Lasix in time as scheduled
Explainer: You have been fined the sum of $500 dollars for failing to tend to business in a proper manner necessitating a late scratch in the 4th race at Aqueduct Racetrack on October 28th 2022.

The TDN asked both the New York State Gaming Commission and the New York Racing Association (NYRA) to elaborate on the details of the above ruling. A Gaming Commission spokesperson wrote, “At this time we have no further details beyond what is publicly available.”

NYRA spokesperson, Pat McKenna, explained that Owen is a NYRA-employed regulatory veterinarian who failed to administer Lasix in time as scheduled, which necessitated the horse, Miss Bonnie T, to be scratched

The website reports Egan exceeded the Saudi Jockey Club's 10-strike limit, leading to both a two-day riding suspension and a fine of an estimated $75,000.

Stipendiary steward Phil Tuck told HorseRacingPlanet.com: “We took into account that two hits were down the shoulder in the backhand position and considered that he used the whip 11 times behind the saddle. He had 10% of his prize-money deducted.”

The website also reports that Charlatan's jockey, Hall of Famer Mike Smith, was suspended two days for allegedly interfering with Sleepy Eyes Todd about 100 meters from the start of the one-turn, nine-furlong race. Smith was hit with a nine-day ban and heavy fine in the inaugural running of the Saudi Cup in 2020, having to lose approximately $210,000, or 60% of his earnings from Midnight Bisou's second-place finish.

Jockey Heriberto Figueroa has been suspended for three racing days for using his whip more than the allotted six times and not in an underhanded position during that day's seventh race, which he won aboard Savvy Gal. It was the rider's third violation in the last 60 days, according to the ruling.

Flavien Prat has been fined $300 for not using the whip in an underhanded position in the G2 Twilight Derby on Oct. 18, in which he finished fifth aboard Farmington Road.
