Things start unraveling for hot young rider Joe Talamo. Maybe things were going too good. Now he's starting to lose and ride carelessly. He's headed for trouble with the stewards and maybe a few of his fellow jockeys, who don't always appreciate Joe's cockiness.
Talamo has a date with the stewards for not just one infraction, but two. If he gets suspended, he's going to lose a lot of money. We go inside the stewards room and see what the process is like. Boy, it almost looks like a little kid being sent to the principal's office at school! Veteran Aaron Gryder, who has been struggling, has a very important mount which, if it wins, will get them both in the ultra-prestigious Breeder's Cup later in the year.
Gryder, too, has to sweat out a session in the steward's room, where he's cited for some rough play in his big race which he triumphs, and then is given a pass. Those are tense moments.
