{Louisville, Kentucky}...During a hearing in Louisville Tuesday, Judge Ann Bailey Smith imposed a $500 fine on Jockey Robby Albarado for his misdemeanor conviction of assaulting his former girlfriend, Carolina Martinez. The fine was recommended by a jury that convicted Albarado of fourth-degree assault last month. A November 14th hearing was set to decide whether Albarado should be sent to jail for up to a year for violating conditions of his release in a previous assault case. Last year, Albarado was charged with wanton endangerment and domestic assault related to an altercation with his wife. Those charges were dismissed, and he pleaded guilty to attempting to interfere with a witness. His sentence was conditionally discharged for two years.
