Oisin Murphy handed 15-day suspension for breaching whip rules, while Sean Levey is banned for 26 days

Fellow jockey Sean Levey has been given a 26-day ban, eight days of which have been suspended, also for multiple breaches of whip rules.

Levey recently served a suspension for the same offence and was warned he could face a longer punishment if further breaches occur.

The panel’s judgment, external said: “As a very experienced and skilful jockey, he must realise that there will come a time when a judicial panel may well be driven to conclude that he either cannot or will not control his use of the whip in accordance with the rules and that only a long suspension, to be served in its entirety, can serve as an adequate punishment.

“He would be well advised to heed this warning.”
