Did anyone see this?
This came from the NY Daily News today. It was written by Jerry Bossert (not the strongest journalist in the world).
TRIPPED UP:Jockey Norberto Arroyo Jr. has had his issues in the past with suspensions and an arrest, but on Wednesday he may have hit rock bottom when he flagrantly whipped the 2-year-old filly Hanna Can Fly twice in the face during the stretch of the ninth race when she was hopelessly beaten. The stewards hit him with a $500 fine, but after watching the head-on replay several times you can make the case he should have been fined more and given a suspension. It was disgraceful..
I was just curious if anyone did indeed see it. You would think the jocks would be smarter than this. Especially with the fallout of the Jeremy Rose situation. It just sucks the lack of concern that they show the horses sometimes. It seems that Arroyo still has some serious anger issues.
