Steward's Report - October 18, 2025

October 18, 2025

Keeneland Race 10

A Stewards Inquiry was posted involving fourth place #11 “Liam’s Latte” (Victor Espinoza) and eighth place #9 “Unlikely Queen” (Gabriel Saez) near the 1/16 pole. After reviewing the race replay and interviewing the riders, the stewards determined that #11 angled in towards the rail while not clear, causing #9 to clip heels and steady. For the interference, #11 was disqualified from fourth and placed eighth, behind #9.

Official order of finish: 7-1-3-2-13
