Winston must answer corruption charges

ROBERT WINSTON has been told he has “a case to answer” in relation to corruption charges brought against him by the Horseracing Regulatory Authority.

The jockey had hoped to be excused from the main inquiry in January following a two-day preliminary hearing by the HRA’s disciplinary panel earlier this week.

However, Winston was informed yesterday that he will face charges at the main hearing, which is due to start on January 10 and is expected to last around 10 days.
