Del Mar: Judge grants Espinoza a stay of 10-day suspension

Apprentice jockey Assael Espinoza is named to ride five of Sunday's nine races after receiving a stay of a 10-day suspension for careless riding.

Espinoza, 18, was granted the stay by a San Diego county Superior Court judge on Thursday. The suspension was scheduled to begin on Sunday and continue for 10 racing days through Aug. 25.

With the stay, Espinoza can continue riding until a hearing is conducted, many weeks or months from now. 

Through Wednesday, Espinoza is fourth in the jockey standings with 11 wis, seven less than leader Flavien Prat.
