Oisin Murphy set to miss St Leger meeting with seven-day ban
Ayr stewards report confirms suspension to run from September 7 to 13.
Champion jockey Oisin Murphy is set to miss next month’s Pertemps St Leger Festival after being given a seven-day suspension when Ayr’s stewards found him guilty of careless riding. Murphy partnered Tiritomba to a two-and-a-quarter-length win in the Shadwell Stud Maiden Stakes on Monday – but the filly appeared to drift across second-placed Ricksen in the finish, prompting the stewards to take a look. Click Here For Exclusive MansionBet Promotion Murphy was judged to have “allowed his mount to drift left for a considerable time without sufficient correction causing (Ricksen’s rider Paul) Mulrennan to take a significant check and clip heels” and was banned for seven days. The rider is currently 18 winners ahead of Tom Marquand in the jockeys’ championship. The stewards report to the British Horseracing Authority confirmed that Murphy’s suspension will take effect from September 7 to September 13 inclusive – ruling him out of Doncaster’s four-day meeting.Follow us on Twitter racing365dotcom and like our Facebook page.
