Default 5th Race at Philadelphia Park
Just watched the fifth race at Philadelphia Park and I saw something I've never seen before. Two jockeys exchanged punches during the race. TVG said the two riders were Vaz and Santos. I've never seen jockeys fight during the race.

A pair of complete ****ing retards who put both themselves and the other riders and horses in the race in harms way because they are stupid. If the Philadelphia Park stewards have any sense, they will suspend both of them for a very long time, because that is exactly what they deserve. NO EXCUSES ACCEPTABLE.

Reminds of when Red Pollock started out riding at the bush tracks in the movie Seabiscuit.

Aqueduct had a sick such a race a few years back. This was really entertaining stuff.. The best part is the stewards let Vaz race the rest off the card

I assume he was defending himself from attack on the backstretch?

Crazy stuff. Dangerous, unprofessional stuff. Would have loved to have been in the jock's room afterwards. Tony Black needs to take them behind the woodshed.

I get that you can't stop to idiots from behaving crazy..I don't understand either of those two being allowed to ride again until the matter was dealt with. NOT restricting them (Vaz) from riding is a worse crime IMO

Geesh, it looks like Vaz deliberately grabbed rein and took Devine Light out to try and take out Santos (he appears to run Devine Light right into him, purposely), and when that didn't work, he started punching him.

Did anything happen before that? I can't believe they let these guys ride the rest of the day.


Thanks for the replay post.

Unbelieveable. The sport can barely get any positive coverage for the Rachael's Woodward win or even the Breeders cup. But I'm sure that this $7500 dollar claiming race will national news for the next few days.

Hefty Suspensions for 2 Philly Park Jockeys

Quote:
According to the Philadelphia Daily News, jockey Erluis Vaz will be suspended for 200 days and Ademar Santos will serve a 90-day suspension as a result of their actions Jan. 8 during the fifth race, a contest for $7,500 claimers.

As a result of the stewards’ action, Vaz will be suspended from Jan. 9 through July 27 and Santos’ suspension runs through April 8. Neither has ridden since Jan. 9, so the suspensions will be retroactive.

It is actually coming out of the first turn, I have never seen anything like it. Vaz backhands Santos and he punches back, and then he whips him in the back. And this was after Vazwanted to get out and cut off everyone and Santos said something to him.

OMG!

"Riders exchanged blows" in the chart...CLASSIC
