Lynch picks up seven-day ban
Lynch momentarily eased up on the Sir Michael Stoute-trained Navado in the ‘Home Of Sunday Racing’ Stakes and was beaten a head for third spot by Night Sight, the mount of Dominic Fox.
The jockey was found to be in breach of Rule 156 (i) and as it was his first such offence in the last 12 months, he was given the minimum seven days.
He will be out of action from July 8-14 inclusive, which includes Newmarket’s July Meeting.
Other jockeys in trouble were Paul Hanagan, Philip Robinson, Dean McKeown and Keith Dalgleish.
Hanagan was referred to Jockey Club headquarters at Portman Square under the totting-up procedure after not riding to his draw, on Blythe Spirit in the ‘Pablo’ Rated Stakes.
