Ohh 😮- Greg Cheyne 45 Day Ban

Inquiry – Jockey Greg Cheyne

The National Horseracing Authority confirms that at an Inquiry held in Gqeberha on Friday 27 May 2022, which was finalised on Wednesday 1 June 2022, Jockey Greg Cheyne was charged with a contravention of Rule 62.2.3. The particulars being that he failed to ride MARSH MARIGOLD out to the end of Race 6 at Fairview Racecourse on 8 April 2022 to the satisfaction of the Stipendiary Stewards and thus prejudiced his chances of obtaining first place.

Jockey Cheyne pleaded not guilty to the charge.

The Inquiry Board after reviewing the evidence, found Jockey Cheyne guilty as charged. After giving careful consideration to his riding record and all aggravating and mitigating factors, a penalty of a suspension from riding in races for a period of forty-five (45) days was imposed.

Jockey Cheyne has the Right of Appeal against the finding and the penalty imposed.

The Slow mo is pretty damming. But is that a true way to judge? Thoughts?

The ouch part is that he will miss the Durban season.

S'manga got 60 days and was sacked by Snaith after he did similar - so Cheyne got off lightly in comparison.

Winner all over and he geared down....... Eish.
What a way to lose

He thought he was home and dry. A bad mistake in my books but not intentional.
