Cases

Fahey v Jockey Club

Held

The Appeal Board reviewed video recordings of the race, heard new evidence from Miss C Livingston of the Jockey Club and Mr Fahey, considered submissions made on behalf of Fahey by his legal representative and considered the submissions made on the Jockey Club’s behalf by their legal representative. Having done so, the Board concluded that the grounds of the appeal relied upon by Fahey as to liability and penalty should be rejected. It therefore dismissed the appeal and confirmed:- (a) the fine of £1,600 upon Fahey; (b) the suspension of Market Avenue to run from Saturday 6th March to Wednesday 14th April inclusive; The Board ordered that the deposit money lodged by Fahey should be returned and made no order as to costs.
