Retired Jockeys Race

Recommended Posts

Update on Camelot and Frankel, also a good idea for a charity race (but a bit of a bummer being licensed for the day and getting fined!)

Mick Kinane edged home on Chris Dwyer’s Patriotic in the Clipper Logistics Leger Legends race, beating Elijah Pepper and George Duffield a nose.

The race, in which retired jockeys are licenced for the day, raised over £100,000 for the Injured Jockeys Fund.

Coffers were boosted further when Duffield was fined £300 for using his whip above the permitted level.

Stipendary steward Robert Earnshaw said: ‘It a unique situation. We consulted the disciplinary department and thought a £300 fine was fair. The BHA will donate the money to the charity.’
