An alleged incident in Saturday’s Maryland Hunt Cup has left one jockey suspended.
Race stewards have suspended jockey Trevor McKenna after one of the judges on the four-mile Glyndon course observed him allegedly punching his 10-year-old horse, Great Halo, when the horse refused to jump the third gate.
According to Don Clippinger, the director of communications for the National Steeplechase Association, McKenna will face a hearing on the allegation.
Just two of 10 starters finished the race, won by Derwins Prospector.
