McCoy’s 10-day ban for not riding out to the line overturned

CHAMPION jockey Tony McCoy yesterday won his appeal against a 10-day ban for not riding out to the line on Batten Down at Bangor.

He left Jockey Club headquarters at Portman Square in London in a conciliatory mood after succeeding in having the suspension overturned.

McCoy received the punishment last Friday after easing down and losing third place in the cantorsport.co.uk Novices’ Handicap Chase.
