Jockeys fail with appeal

The nine jockeys banned for failing to pull up during a race that was declared void at Wetherby last Wednesday have failed in their appeal against 10-day suspensions.

Sixteen-times champion Tony McCoy and leading riders Graham Lee, Paddy Brennan and Denis O’Regan were among those found guilty of failing to stop after a yellow flag was shown due to a stricken horse on the course.
