Jockey Jeremy Rose was suspended six months by Delaware stewards after his whip accidently struck the eye of his mount Appeal to the City in the third race at Delaware on Monday. He has appealed the penalty but was not given a stay of the suspension. Rose has said he will not attempt to ride until the appeal is heard by the Delaware Racing Commission on July 22.
