S’manga Khumalo – fined R75 000
The National Horseracing Authority has confirmed that an Inquiry was held at its offices in Johannesburg on Monday 3 August 2015.
The inquiry de novo was as a result of the previous finding and penalty imposed by an Inquiry Board on 3 December 2013 having been set aside, in terms of a court settlement agreement, in consequence of changed evidence having been presented to the NHA.
The de novo inquiry found that Jockey Khumalo contravened Rule 62.2.2 in that he did not ride SUPERTUBE in the 10th Race on 5 November 2013, in a competent and professional manner.
The Inquiry Board imposed a penalty of a monetary fine of R75 000-00.
