Pitt not appealing Thirsk fine

Bawtry-based trainer Tim Pitt will not appeal against the decision by the Thirsk stewards to fine him £6,000 (about €9,000) over the running and riding of Jordan’s Light on Saturday.

The local officials held an inquiry into why the three-year-old gelding had, in their view, appeared to be tenderly ridden throughout when beaten no more than four lengths in the Racing UK Handicap.
