Trainer Wigham hit with record fine

Trainer Michael Wigham has been fined a record £20,000 and suspended from having runners for 35 days, while jockey Jamie Mackay has been banned for 60 days following a British Horseracing Authority inquiry.

The pair initially faced the disciplinary panel in February over the running and riding of Granakey at Kempton on January 2, with the horse’s previous outing at Wolverhampton on December 20 also coming under the microscope.
