Patrick Mullins has been suspended for eight days after being found to have used his whip one above the permitted level aboard Nick Rockett in the Randox Grand National on Saturday.
The record-breaking amateur steered the eight-year-old to a two-and-a-half-length victory in the world's most famous steeplechase at Aintree, with his famous father Willie saying afterwards: "This is the best day ever, this will never be topped."
