The winning jockey of the 151st Kentucky Derby receives a massive fine after violating a major rule in the iconic race.

Junior Alvarado, the jockey who rode Sovereignty to victory at the 151st running of the Kentucky Derby earlier this month, has been issued a suspension and ordered to pay a hefty fine for excessive use of his riding crop during the race.

Alvarado whipped the bay colt eight times during the race, above the maximum six allowed by the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority.
