Jamie Theriot said Wednesday that he consulted with attorneys and members of the horse racing community before deciding the appeal was “the best course of action to take.”
The Illinois Racing Board suspended jockey Jamie Theriot on Monday after jockey Rene Douglas’ spill at the Arlington Matron Handicap last Saturday, May 23.
Sky Mom, jockey Jamie Theriot’s horse clipped hooves with the race horse Born To Be which jockey Rene Douglas was riding. Douglas’ horse flipped and tossed him over her head, then landed on him. Douglas’ agent has said doctors believe he may be partially paralyzed.
