Robbie Dunne suspension reduced following appeal

Robbie Dunne has had the suspension imposed on him for bullying and harassing fellow jockey Bryony Frost reduced to 10 months from 18 months, following an appeal hearing in London.

Dunne had initially been found in breach of four charges of rule J19 which covers conduct prejudicial to the integrity, proper conduct and good reputation of racing, for a series of incidents between 13 February, 2020 and 3 September 3, 2020.

However, despite agreeing that Dunne had been guilty of breaching rule J19, Appeal Board chair Anthony Boswell QC felt one breach of the rule, rather than the previous four, covered all the offences.
