Milczarek wins appeal against two-year ban

Kirsty Milczarek was successful yesterday in her appeal against a two-year riding ban imposed by the British Horseracing Authority disciplinary panel in December.

Milczarek had originally been found in breach of the old Rule 201 (v), which concerned anyone who is “Guilty of or conspires with any other person for the commission of, or connives at any other person being guilty of, any corrupt or fraudulent practice in relation to racing in this or any other country”.

She had also been found in breach of former Rule 243, which concerned “Passing information for reward”, following the conclusion of a lengthy investigation into a betting ring said by the BHA to have been masterminded by two registered owners, Maurice Sines and James Crickmore.
