McCoy handed 10-day ban
Tony McCoy was hit with a 10-day ban for failing to ride out for third place at Bangor this afternoon.
The champion jockey was deemed to have dropped his hands on the Jonjo O’Neill-trained Batten Down (7-2) in the cantorsport.co.uk Novices’ Handicap Chase.
The six-year-old was out of contention after taking the final fence and when McCoy momentarily eased up he was beaten a short head for third by the Tom Scudamore-ridden Finzi.
The race was won by the Richard Guest-trained 11-2 shot Time To Reflect.
McCoy will be out of action from September 21-26 and also on the 28th and 30th, in addition to October 1-2.
