Woodbine rider draws year ban
By Bill Tallon

Jockey Simon Husbands is facing a suspension of one calendar year for what stewards
termed "an unsatisfactory ride" aboard Bug's Boy, who finished second
in the third race at Woodbine on Nov. 30.

"Husbands did not persevere with his mount throughout the race
or demonstrate an effort to ensure the best and fastest race of which his mount was capable,
" read the stewards' ruling, which was released Saturday.

the winner was ridden by Husbands' brother Patrick, who tied for leading rider by wins with the score (no. 157 on the year).
