21-day ban

Jockey Billy Loughnane has been banned for 21 days for improper riding. The stewards ruled he acted against the instructions of a vet at Southwell on Thursday evening. There was an incident at the start of the day's final race, with trainer David Loughnane's Beelzebub (Dark Angel) receiving a kick and he was deemed lame by the veterinarian. Billy Loughnane's mount was withdrawn on veterinary advice. Loughnane then rode Beelzebub back from the start, which resulted in an inquiry by the stewards. His 21-day ban will run from April 9-April...
