On Friday 14 March 2014, an Appeal Board constituted by The National Horseracing Authority (“NHA”) dismissed Jockey S’Manga Khumalo’s appeal against the penalty imposed by an NHA Inquiry Board.
The Inquiry Board had suspended Jockey Khumalo from riding for a period of 60 days following a finding that he had failed to take all reasonable and permissible measures to ensure that the horse, SUPERTUBE, ridden by him in the 10th race at the Vaal Racecourse on 5 November 2013, was given a full opportunity to obtain the best possible placing.
The Appeal Board’s Reasons for its decision are available on the NHA Website. Click below please.
