I know a couple lower level jockeys and they both say the same thing: they cannot stand Paco. Literally nobody in the jocks room likes him. Wouldn’t shock me to find out if the other riders step up and pay Ortiz’s fine for him.
Paco probably didn’t fight back because he’s got a lengthy record with the stewards at Gulfstream and was probably afraid of getting kicked out if he fought back.
