Statement from Karen A. Murphy,
Attorney for Jockey Luis Saez
October 4, 2013 - Armonk, NY - We welcome the NYS Gaming Commission report and its complete vindication of Mr. Saez in the running of the 2013 Travers Stakes. We wish to thank the Investigators of the Gaming Commission for their due diligence. The charges repeatedly made by Trainer Eric Guillot against this young, outstanding rider are now finally in the history books for what there were from the start --- baseless, reckless and false.
Jockey Luis Saez statement on his vindication: "This has been a terrible time for my family and for my professional life. I was confident all along that my name would be cleared as I had done nothing wrong."
