"Ward has a career record of 2,084 wins from 9,872 starts, and he is widely known for his work with young horses. The ruling stated that 15 days were being stayed from the suspension due to “number of violations in relation to overall record.”

“I try as hard as I can, especially in this day and age, when you want to walk a straight line,” Ward said.
“But I respect the decision of the stewards.”
