Jockey bets against his own horse then wins the race

Jockey Mychel Sanchez bet against his own horses in some races over a ten-day period. He was suspended for 60 days. Sanchez won two of the races. His actions brought further sanctions. He is banned from Parx Racing in Pennsylvania and Gulfstream Park and Laurel. The ruling will also be upheld at the other two racing jurisdictions. It is not illegal to bet on a horse, but it must be a bet to win.
