Jockeys pass on tips to punters, court told

FORMER trainer Charlie Brooks told the High Court in London yesterday that it was common knowledge that jockeys passed on information to punters.

He was giving evidence on the second day of former jockey-turned-bloodstock agent Graham Bradley’s challenge to a five-year Jockey Club ban.

Bradley, 44, claims that the April 2003 disqualification order following proceedings before the Jockey Club’s disciplinary committee and appeal board is unlawful.
