This arose in that as the rider of JUST CHAOS he failed to ensure that he did not cause interference to other runners passing the 200m in Race 8, the Listed Lady’s Slipper Stakes, at Fairview Racecourse on 8 June 2018.
Due to some uncertainty on what plea to enter to the charge, the Inquiry Board entered a plea of not guilty on Jockey Khathi’s behalf.
The Inquiry Board found Jockey Khathi guilty of the charge and imposed a penalty of a warning.
Jockey Khathi has the Right of Appeal against the finding and the penalty imposed.
Ed – at the time, there was some debate on our Facebook page about Mr Khathi’s ride following our review of the race. This is how we reported on the race
