After considering the evidence the Inquiry Board imposed a penalty of a suspension from riding in races for a period of seven days
Jockey Wayne Agrella took a swipe in the post-race interview after the first at Fairview on Friday,
Senior rider Wayne Agrella rode a finely judged race over the turf mile on the multiple stakes winning former Snaith galloper
The Board ruled that races bet on outside the jurisdiction of The National Horseracing Authority of Southern Africa could not be deemed breaches of the NHA Rules
‘The NHA decision has basically given riders carte blanche to descend on all betting outlets and bet on Mauritius, Hong Kong and other overseas racing with impunity…’

The Inquiry Board found Mr Agrella guilty of the charge and after considering his blatant disregard for the authority of the Clerk of Scales, he was fined R1000
