Hefty Suspensions for 2 Philly Park Jockeys

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.
