The National Horseracing Authority confirms that at an Inquiry held at the Vaal Racecourse on 26 September 2019, Jockey Chase Maujean was charged with a contravention of Rule 62.2.7.
Chase Maujean – suspended
This arose in that, as the rider of Archilles, he failed to ensure that he did not cause interference to other runners at approximately the 400m in Race 4 at the Vaal Racecourse on 19 September 2019.
Jockey Maujean pleaded not guilty to the charge, but was found guilty of the charge.
The Inquiry Board, in determining a suitable penalty, took into account all evidence that was led at the inquiry and imposed a penalty of a suspension from riding in races for a period of seven days.
Jockey Maujean has the Right of Appeal against both the finding and the penalty imposed.
