The New York stewards suspended jockey Pierre-Chares Boudot 15 days for "gross careless riding and extremely unprofessional riding" after the finish of the Grade 1, $1.2 million Belmont Derby on July 7 at Belmont.
Boudot rode Kingstar, who rinished fifth in the Belmont Derby, a half-length in front of Maraud, who finished sixth under John Velazquez.
Galloping out after the race, Boudot allowed Kingstar to come over several paths and make contact with Maraud and Velazquez, putting them into the rail. A review of the head-on replay shows Velazquez yelling at Boudot.
The suspension is for 15 calendar days beginning July 17.
The ruling states that Boudot, having waived his right of appeal is given permission to ride in designated races. Two races mentioned are the King Georges VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot and the The Prix De Psyche at Deauville, both scheduled for July 28. If Boudot rides in either of those races then his suspension is extended to Aug 1.
