Jockey Joe Talamo will ride Venice (13) in Friday's sixth race, a replacement for jockey Martin Pedroza, who is off hs mounts for the remainder of the program.

Steward Scott Chaney said Pedroza was taken off his final two mounts on the program after getting an altercation with a jockey's room valet. The cause of the incident was not immediately known.

"We got word of a fight witha valet," Chaney said. "The valet was taken to a hospital by paramedics. We took (Pedroza) off his remaining mounts."

A replacement has not been named for Pacific Coast Hwy (6) in the eighth race.
