Jockey Danny Brock believes his career will be ended by the furore over his seven-day ban for marking a horse with a whip modified with elastic bands
Danny Brock, who was banned for marking a horse with a modified whip when landing a gamble at Chelmsford City in September, said yesterday that he has received death threats after the incident returned to the spotlight in recent days, thanks in part to an unusually long delay in publication of the disciplinary panel’s findings in his case.
Brock was initially fined £140 for using a whip with an elastic band wound around the tip when riding Resurrected to victory on 19 September. The whip was later found to have left a weal on Resurrected and the rider was subsequently banned from riding for seven days following a hearing in front of the
British Horseracing Authority’s disciplinary panel on 17 October.
