Prat Faces Three-Day Suspension For Ride Aboard Zulu Kingdom In Hall Of Fame

Flavien Prat has been suspended by the Saratoga stewards for three days as a result of his ride aboard race favorite Zulu Kingdom (Ten Sovereigns {Ire}) in Friday's GII National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame Stakes.

Though Prat crossed the line 1 1/2-lengths in front of runner up Luther (GB) (Frankel {GB}), he was ultimately disqualified from the win for causing what the stewards deemed as interference on the first turn of the one-mile race. Joel Rosario, the jockey aboard Luther, lodged an objection following the race and the stewards demoted Zulu Kingdom from first to fourth.

Prat will serve his suspension Aug. 13-15.

 

LUTHER and Joel Rosario had a not-fun time heading into the first turn of today's National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame S. (G2) at Saratoga.

Things got better for the Charlie Fellowes' trainee when LUTHER (GB), who finished 2nd to Zulu Kingdom, was moved up to the win via DQ. pic.twitter.com/LpFc2h23zn
