Bradley goes before Appeal Board today

GRAHAM BRADLEY’S appeal against the eight-year ban he was given following a disciplinary inquiry at the Jockey Club in November will go before the Appeal Board today.

Two days have been set aside for the hearing the second being this day week - after the former top jump jockey and now leading bloodstock agent was warned off and fined £2,500 and £400 when he was found to be in breach of a series of the Rules of Racing

Bradley denies selling information to alleged drugs dealer Brian Brendan Wright and believes he has been made 'a scapegoat' because of the recent bad publicity racing has received and that the penalty handed to him is 'massively excessive'.
