Rodgers warned off for two years by the Jockey Club

FORMER Platinum Racing Club director Miles Rodgers was disqualified from British racing for two years by the Jockey Club yesterday.

In the first case of its kind, he was found guilty by the disciplinary panel of laying his own horse to lose with a betting organisation.

The hearing followed a Jockey Club investigation into the runs of Uhoomagoo at Redcar on October 28 and Million Percent at Wolverhampton on November 14. Both horses ran under the ownership of Platinum Racing Club Ltd.
