Dwyer focused on India appeal

Martin Dwyer will be fighting to clear his name in India this weekend as his appeal against an eight-month suspension is due to be heard.

The Derby-winning jockey was initially given a 56-day ban following a race in February, which he was already appealing, but was hit with a revised sentence at a hearing in Mumbai.

Dwyer, 38, finished a narrow third on market leader Ice Age at Mahalaxmi racecourse on February 17, which prompted an angry response from racegoers.
