Independent panel return damning verdict on jockeyRider also guilty of violent and improper behaviourThe National Hunt jockey Robbie Dunne has been banned for 18 months, three of which have been suspended, after being found guilty of pursuing a campaign of bullying and harassment against his fellow rider, Bryony Frost, at the end of a six-day hearing of the case by the
British Horseracing Authority’s independent disciplinary panel in
London.
The three-person panel adjourned to consider its verdict on Wednesday and returned on Thursday to tell the rider that it had found him in breach on the most serious charge against him, that he had engaged in “conduct prejudicial to the integrity, proper conduct and good reputation of horse racing by bullying and harassing a fellow jockey”.
