Stoute appeal dismissed
Sir Michael Stoute has had his appeal against the £6,500 (€9,632) fine for the running and riding of Florimund in a Windsor maiden dismissed and raised to £8,500 (€12,596).
The eight-time champion trainer appeared before the disciplinary panel of the Horseracing Regulatory Authority (HRA) to argue his case as he had not been present when the Khalid Abdullah-owned three-year-old finished 11th, beaten just under eight lengths, in the PSP Association Maiden Stakes on July 24.
