No progress in jockeys’ mobile phones row

KEITH DALGLEISH became the first rider to fall foul of new Jockey Club procedures when he failed a breathalyser test at Redcar yesterday.

Officials at Portman Square confirmed that the rider had been stood down for the rest of the day for "safety reasons" after two checks revealed the jockey tested positive above the permitted threshold.

However, before any disciplinary action is taken against the rider, a urine sample subsequently given by Dalgleish will have to be analysed, Jockey Club director of public relations John Maxse said.
