Condon decides not to appeal 15-day Ascot whip ban

Davy Condon has decided not to appeal against the 15-day suspension and £3,150 fine handed to him by the Ascot stewards on Saturday.

The officials ruled he had used his whip above the permitted level from the second-last when winning The Ladbroke on the Gordon Elliott-trained Bayan.

It was an emotional success for Condon, who has been plagued by injuries and was having just his third ride back since a heavy fall at Cork in August.
