The Appeal lodged by Jockey N Callan against the severity of the penalty imposed by the Licensing Committee on 7 April 2021 to suspend his Club Jockey’s licence with immediate effect until the conclusion of the 2020/2021 racing season, for a breach of Rule 14 (2), was heard by the Stewards of the Jockey Club at 3:00 p.m. on 29 April 2021.

The Appeal Panel carefully considered all the evidence taken in this case together with the further statements made at the hearing today.

The Panel allowed the Appeal and adjusted the period of suspension so that it will now expire on 27 May 2021, on which day he may resume riding.  The Panel further ordered the appeal deposit be refunded.
