I'm surprised the stewards took so long in their review.

I just hope Irad Ortiz doesn't cause an accident during the rest of the meet.

Unfortunately, blood will have to be spilled before the NYRA stewards take a different view of this riding technique.

The best shot was the back pan view when you could see half the riders body to the left of the horse, a clear move to intimidate and push his horse over. But you are right, the laws are what is enforced, not necessarily what is written.

What he did is perfectly fine by the standards the stewards have set.
