At an inquiry held in Johannesburg on 27 May 2016, Workrider Paulos Jevu was charged with a contravention of Rule 62.2.3 in that he failed to ride the horse REMINISCENCE out to the end of the race, thereby prejudicing his chances of obtaining fourth position in Race 6 run at the Turffontein Racecourse on 14 May 2016.
Mr Jevu pleaded guilty to the charge and was found guilty of the charge.
The Board, after viewing the patrol films of the race, considering Mr Jevu’s clean record and all other factors presented in mitigation, ruled that Mr Jevu be suspended from riding in two Workrider races.
Mr Jevu has the right of appeal against the penalty imposed.
