Jockeys Banned After Flight Incidents

Three South Australian jockeys have been fined and suspended for one month after misbehaving on a commercial flight from Adelaide to Mount Gambier.
Jockeys Garry Hoobin, Paul Marks and Sean Harrison fronted TRSA stewards yesterday, after an incident on June 23.

Stewards deemed their actions on the flight were "prejudical to the image of racing" and subsequently charged them under the rule of AAR.175A.

Hoobin and Marks pleaded guilty while Harrison offered no plea.

After deliberating, stewards suspended all riders for one month commencing at midnight on Sunday, 19 July 2009 and in addition, each rider was fined $500 and received a year ban from all Regional Express flights.

It is understood the riders brought twelve beers on the Regional Express flight and despite the pleadings of airline staff not to open them, proceeded to consume the alcohol.

Ironically, the trio were returning from an industry-funded tutorial about responsible consumption of alcohol.

It is also believed Paul Marks is under investigation from the Civil Aviation Authority for allegedly failing to wear a seatbelt during the flight.

All riders have been informed of their right to lodge an appeal.

Anyone know the field for the Deutschland Preis (at Dusseldorf) yet?

Thanks.

Awww, disappointing.

Feel better, Youmzain!

YOUMZAIN RULED OUT OF KING GEORGE

YOUMZAIN will be an absentee from the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes on Saturday week after sustaining a minor setback.

The six-year-old was this morning found to have a swollen near-fore joint that although superficial is enough to scupper his chance of lining-up for Ascot's mid-summer feature.

Mick said: "The horse isn't lame but there's swelling round the joint and we can't take any chances. X-rays taken on the leg showed nothing for us to get worried about, and he'll hopefully be back later in the year."

Youmzain finished third in last year's King George and most recently occupied the same placing in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud. Ironically he had worked encouragingly in a visor as recently as Tuesday.
