The National Horseracing Authority confirms that at an Inquiry held in Johannesburg at Turffontein Racecourse on 24 January 2018, Mr Devin Little was charged with a contravention of Rule 72.1.11.
This arose in that he swore at and threatened Mr & Mrs Soru (who were Owners in his yard) when having a telephonic conversation with them on 23 July 2017.
Mr Little pleaded guilty to the charge and was found guilty of the charge.
The Inquiry Board imposed a penalty of a fine of R7 500-00, of which R5 000-00 is wholly suspended for a period of one year provided that during that period Mr Little is not convicted of a contravention of Rule 72.1.11.
Mr Little has the Right of Appeal against the penalty imposed.
