APPEAL - Jockey A Delpech

3 October 2007

Jockey A Delpech has lodged notice of his intention to appeal against the penalty of suspension from riding in races for a period to expire on 15 November 2007 imposed by the Racing Stewards on 2 October 2007 for breaching Rule 99(2) and (3).

The Stewards have suspended the operation of this penalty in accordance with Rule 23(5) of the Rules of Racing pending hearing of the Appeal. However, Jockey A Delpech is still required to serve the penalty of suspension for the two race meetings scheduled to be conducted on 17 October and 21 October 2007 as a result of his careless riding offence incurred on 26 September 2007 which is not the subject of Appeal.
