Albarado Remains Suspended

{Lexington, Kentucky}...A committee of the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission turned down a request from suspended jockey Robby Albarado to have his suspension lifted. Albarado's attorney said it would be unfair to keep him sidelined until his July trial in Louisville. Albarado was suspended in Kentucky following his May 4th arrest when he was charged with fourth-degree assault after being accused of accosting a woman who said she was trying to break up with him. Since then, Albarado, who's third on the all-time wins list at Churchill Downs, has been unable to ride not only in Kentucky but in other states that are honoring the decision.
