Suspension, Anger Management Class Result From Mid-Race Jockey Altercation

[slayer14]

You could say this is a case of a horse race breaking out in the middle of a fight.

Jockey Freddy Jose Manrrique-Guerrero has been suspended 30 days and ordered to attend an anger management class by Will Rogers Downs stewards for an altercation with fellow jockey Natalie Turner in the stretch run of the final race of the recent meet.

In a video replay of Saturday's 12th race (below), Manrrique-Guerrero, aboard Oliver G, is seen making contact with Turner, riding War Chirp, heading into the stretch. Moments later, with the riders side-by-side in close quarters, Turner flails her whip at Manrrique-Guerrero three times.

Only in America

Usually they just wait until they get back in the jocks room and beat the snot out of one another.

In this case, with one being a girl, they use separate jocks rooms.

Anger management. Lol.

No doubt this had been brewing for a while.

Varying degrees of this happen all the time with jocks, everywhere, not just America.

Just happens with the public unaware in most cases.

But the Stewards see it as do those that participate with or against them.
