Winston set for enforced holiday

ROBERT Winston faces a suspension of at least 10 days after passing the watershed of 24 days’ worth of bans incurred during the calendar year.

Winston was unplaced aboard Minwir in division two of the Bet Multiples - Betdaq Handicap at Kempton yesterday but the stewards felt he had used his whip without giving his mount enough time to respond, triggering his referral under the ’totting-up’ procedure.

“He was on 24 days before today, so we had to refer it on,” said Chris Rutter, the stipendiary steward.
