Ten-day ban for Murphy
Michael Murphy was in trouble with the stewards at Fontwell after mistaking the winning post on favourite Lady Malousa in the Morgan Ashurst Novices’ Handicap Chase.
Although the five-year-old was held by eventual winner Vibe after jumping the final fence, she looked booked for second until Murphy eased up going over a path on the run-in and although he soon realised his error, he was beaten a short-head into third.
