Significant Incidents /Matters:

Race 1: STEWARDS INQUIRY/COMING OUT OF TURN/DQ: Following the running of the race the stewards posted the inquiry sign due to an incident coming out of the turn for home involving first place finisher #3 RYDERROO, ridden by Kenneth Deonauth, third place finisher #5 LIEUTENANT MARGIE, ridden by Kassie Guglielmino, and fourth place finisher #6 FELDY, ridden by Jake Samuels. After reviewing the videos and taking testimony from the riders involved the stewards determined that #3 RYDERROO, who was on the inside, drifted out badly turning for home taking both #5 LIEUTENANT MARGIE, who was between horses and #6 FELDY, who was on the outside, extremely wide. Both horses were beaten short margins for a better placing, therefore the stewards’ decision was to disqualify ##3 RYDERROO from first place to fourth place for costing #5 LIEUTENANT MARGIE and #6 FELDY the opportunity of a better placing. The original order of finish of 3-1-5-6-2-7 was changed to 1-5-6-3-2-7. Race 2: None Race 3: None Race 4: None Race 5: None

Jockey Jose Arriola Serrano (ADG #21841), having satisfied the conditions of Turf Paradise ruling #18-19TP123 is hereby restored to good standing. Arizona Administrative Code/Arizona Revised Statutes Reference: A.A.C. R19-2-121(E)(3); A.A.C. R19-2-121(E)(6)(j)

TURF PARADISE RULING #19-20TP095 Having been properly noticed for a formal hearing and having appeared on January 22, 2020, Owner/Trainer Richard Troy Smith (ADG #12065) is hereby suspended one hundred eighty (180) calendar days (January 26, 2020, through July 24, 2020, inclusive) for conduct detrimental to the best interests of horse racing by displaying an attitude of extraordinary disrespect for behaving in a verbally abusive and threatening manner directed towards the Turf Paradise Director of Security on the backside of Turf Paradise Race Track on January 18, 2020. This matter is referred to the Arizona Department of Gaming/Racing Division with the recommendation that all racing licenses of Richard Troy Smith be permanently revoked in the state of Arizona. An aggravating factor considered in this deliberation was the extensive history (22 previous rulings) of disorderly conduct, abusive language, disrespect to licensees and racing officials, and behaving in a threatening manner to licensees and racing officials over a period of 30+ years. During the term of his suspension Richard Troy Smith is denied access to all grounds under the jurisdiction of the Arizona Department of Gaming/Racing Division. The above described matter constitutes a violation in accordance with: A.A.C. R19-2-106(C); A.A.C. R19-2-111(A)(B); A.A.C. R19-2-112(11); A.A.C. R19-2-121(E)(1)(2)(3)(6) SCRATCHES:
