Kendrick Carmouche Fined $5,500, Suspended One Day For Whip Use In Manhattan
Kendrick Carmouche Fined $5,500, Suspended One Day For Whip Use In Manhattan originally appeared on Paulick Report. Jockey Kendrick Carmouche will not appeal a Horseracing Safety and Integrity Authority ruling that gave him a single-day suspension and a $5,500 fine for striking Deterministic seven times, one over the six strike limit, when winning the Grade 1 Manhattan Stakes last Sunday at Saratoga, reported the Daily Racing Form on June 12. HISA whip regulations dictate that 1-3 strikes over the limit results in a $250 fine or 10 percent of the jockey's portion of the purse earnings, whichever is greater, as well as a one-day suspension. Advertisement In the $1 million Manhattan, Deterministic's connections earned $550,000 for the victory; Carmouche's portion of that purse money was $55,000. Thus, 10 percent of the purse equates to a $5,500 fine. "I'm not going to appeal it, I did go over,' Carmouche told DRF. 'What I don't understand is why you got to get a fine and a day; aren't they taking enough from you from by taking $5,500 from you. This is Carmouche's sixth whip violation since HISA's implementation. His last whip violation came aboard Hot Fudge when winning the 2024 Correction Stakes at Aqueduct in March of 2024.

'I believe it's a village that saves a child, and when you have parents and children, that is a family, and it takes a family to save a child,' said Carmouche. Carmouche said it's the adult's responsibility to teach children right and guide them toward a brighter and safer future. 'It's our experience, our know how, our maturity, and our mentoring, I think mentoring is a lack in our community and it need to be brought forward like it used to be in the older days or the days before we became adults,' said Carmouche.
