The jockey changes listed for the Fair Grounds card reflect one of the interesting facets of racing rules. Tyler Gaffalione has been taken off of three of his mounts early in the card. That is NOT because he missed his flight from Florida, but rather that he is still serving a suspension imposed at Gulfstream. However, he is still permitted to ride in stakes races for which he had made a commitment before the suspension was imposed, so he is able to keep his rides in the New Orlanns H., the Muniz Memorial, and especially on War of Will in the Derby.
