From Bloodhorse:

Alan Pincus, an attorney for the jockey, said Sanchez opened a TVG account in his own name in late December 2021 and made numerous bets over a period of about 10 days, including wagering on horses that were racing against his own mounts. But the attorney said Sanchez rode to win those races and scored some upsets during the period in question.

"He's doing this, and fortunately TVG notices who it is and what's going on and they alert the racing commission," Pincus told Paulick. "It's inexplicable. He had races where he actually bet against his own horse, then went out and won the race. One horse paid $37 to win. Another race he bets against himself and he won the race on a horse that paid $27. He's not pulling horses, he's not doing it for evil purposes, he's doing it for crazy purposes, inexplicable purposes. But obviously it is against the rules and you can't do that."

TVG confirmed its role in alerting racing officials of Sanchez's wagering activities in the Paulick Report story.

"He has started a treatment program," Pincus added to Paulick. "He is not a criminal. He was not pulling horses. He's a person who needs help."

He is a young man that suffered an indiscretion. Needs another chance. The only true crime here is spelling Michael with a "Y" now that is inexcusable.
