In the official ruling, Delaware Park stewards contended that Rose"engaged in extreme misuse of the whip during the stretch run while onthe horse Appeal to the City." John Wayne, executive director of theDelaware Thoroughbred Racing Commission, said the horse experienced somehemorrhaging around its eye due to contact with Rose's whip. Appeal to the City, a 5-year-old daughter of Appealing Skier, wasinitially examined by commission veterinarian John Peters, DVM, afterwhich she was taken to the University of Pennsylvania School ofVeterinary Medicine's New Bolton Center for treatment.

The stewards' ruling also stated that Rose would be responsible for allveterinarian bills for the care and treatment required for Appeal to theCity. Rose is required to attend and complete an anger management courseto be approved in advance by the stewards at their sole discretionwithin the next six months. Rose was suspended from riding until Dec. 24, and was ordered tocomplete an anger management course and pay for Appeal to the City'sveterinary treatment.Owned by Raymond Makarovich, the mare is trained by Howard Wolfendale,who declined to comment on the situation until it was settled. Callsmade to Rose; his agent, Kid Breeden; and attorney Alan Foreman, who isrepresenting the jockey, were not immediately returned the afternoon ofJune 24. "This is very unusual, although when something like this does happen,I'd like to think we took the appropriate actions today, which was

veryquickly," Wayne said of the hearing. "We have to protect our due processrights, but (Rose) had a hearing, and he was suspended." Wayne said Rose has appealed his suspension, which will be considered atanother hearing July 22. Rose requested a stay for the riding infractionuntil the hearing, but that request was denied. Wayne pointed out that while Rose is only suspended in Delaware, thereusually is reciprocity throughout other racing jurisdictions. Rose, whois denied the privileges of all grounds of Delaware Park during hissuspension, was scheduled for several mounts June 24 at Delaware, butwas taken off all of them. His suspension goes through Dec. 24. "This was an act that the stewards considered very serious, as well asthe commission," Wayne said. "We would like to think that it was anout-of-character thing for Jeremy." A native of Bellefonte, Pa., Rose, 29, won the 2005

Preakness andBelmont Stakes aboard Afleet Alex. In 2001, he was honored with anEclipse Award as top apprentice jockey. Since 2000, Rose has won acareer total of 1,730 races from 8,600 mounts.

One day the use of the whip will be banned...I cant remember what the rules are in the US, I know they are not very strict though..I cant believe that he appealed the ban! he was so obviously guilty....

I know that in England they are very strict, perhaps there he would have been warned off for life.
