Jockey Club v Carter & Others

Held

The allegations were made out against GC, CC and all but one of the others said to be involved. The betting patterns, and the pattern of communications, coupled with GC's lies and CC's previous conduct satisfied the Panel that inside information had been passed and used. The way GC had ridden on the 8 occasions was consistent with that. The inference that money or other reward had changed hands between CC and GC was clear, given CC's admitted habit of doing this and the improbability that GC would give information charitably. GC was disqualified for 5 years and fined £2,000 for his lies. CC and 4 others were excluded indefinitely from racing premises. The evidence against the other individual was insufficient.
