Trojan Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Warren Kennedy rode today because he had commitments from Saturday even though his disqualification started on Sunday. If that's the case then how did he get to ride at the Trials yesterday - surely there were no prior commitments for the trials? Then today he was stood down mid race meeting because of injury he had yesterday. That doesn't seem right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomed Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 I agree the trials sound strange, but I think there is a rule that if a meeting is postponed, as effectively HB was, then a jockey with a suspension looming can ride on the new day. That's just my vague recollection. It has happened before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just didn't know it applied to trials as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Executioner Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 When suspended it is still permissable to ride at trials.... This applies to all jockey's... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His disqualification start was deferred to today in order for him to meet his engagement obligations yesterday. So, in the interim, he could ride at the trials I think.
