The National Horseracing Authority has confirmed that an Inquiry was held at its offices in Johannesburg on Monday 3 August 2015.

The inquiry de novo was as a result of the previous finding and penalty imposed by an Inquiry Board on 3 December 2013 having been set aside, in terms of a court settlement agreement, in consequence of changed evidence having been presented to the NHA.

The de novo inquiry found that Jockey Khumalo contravened Rule 62.2.2 in that he did not ride SUPERTUBE in the 10th Race on 5 November 2013, in a competent and professional manner.

The Inquiry Board imposed a penalty of a monetary fine of R75 000-00.

does it mean that he pulled the horse ?

In plain English, yes

A fine that much. Wow.

And the punters that did there tom on the horse?

Something not adding up here. Why would Tarry change his tune and the NHA still find Bling guilty?

Strange game this? :silly:

Some simple mathematics.

Bling originally got a 60 day suspension supposed to have been served in his title winning year 2013/14. His winning Rand amount was a few rand under 16M. If you break it down that equates to a monthly amount of R1 333 333. So if he earned 10% of that it equates to R 1 333 333 x 2 = R 2 666 666 x 10% = R 266 666.66. Thats substantially more than R75 000. What legal costs have the Jockey Club picked up in this case?

Who says crime doesn't pay?

Do jocks get fined this high? I have not seen such a high fine. Please can someone confirm

Yawwnnn... December 2013 to August 2015?
Sounds like a drawn out murder case?
Accused has all the best connections so allowed to earn a fortune before sentencing?

Life sure is easy at the top :dry: :lol:
