No complaints from Murphy after £300 fine

Timmy Murphy is aiming “onwards and upwards” after escaping a suspension at a Jockey Club inquiry today.

The rider was found guilty of abusive behaviour and fined £300 after an altercation with an official in the jockeys' changing room following the Sharp Minds Betfair: Back and Lay Handicap Chase at Fontwell Park on November 5.

Murphy was involved in an incident with stewards' secretary Chris Rutter, but the disciplinary panel found that he had not been violent or threatening two offences which might have incurred a severe ban.
