As a condition of the ruling, Nakatani, who turned 34 on Oct. 21, will not be allowed to ride in designated races during the course of the suspension.
Jockey Corey Nakatani is to serve a 30-day suspension from Dec. 26 through Feb. 3, 2005, the California Horse Racing Board has ruled.The board recently denied Nakatani's appeal of the suspension, which stems from a rough-riding incident on March 6 at Santa Anita Park. The 30-day ban was originally issued on March 11.
