Jury Convicts Albarado Of Assault

{Louisville, Kentucky}...A Jefferson County District Court jury in Louisville convicted jockey Robby Albarado Thursday of fourth-degree assault and recommended that he pay a $500 fine. Albarado was accused of assaulting his one-time girlfriend, Carolina Martinez, in late April. He was arrested a few days later, hours before he was to ride in the $1 million Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs. Prosecutors said Albarado intentionally hurt Martinez, but the defense maintained Martinez had barged into Albarado's home.
