Murtagh suspension rules jockey out of Sandown
Johnny Murtagh further incurred the wrath of the British stewards on the opening afternoon of Royal Ascot today, picking up bans totalling seven days which will rule him out of the Coral-Eclipse meeting at Sandown next month.
The Ballydoyle stable jockey was hit with a five-day suspension for careless riding aboard Frozen Fire in the Investec Coronation Cup at Epsom earlier in the month, and will miss the final two days of the Royal gathering as a result.
