Yeni, Jacobson suspended

The National Horseracing Authority confirms that Jockeys Muzi Muzi Yeni and Billy Jacobson have been placed on an immediate interim suspension in terms of the provisions of Rule 91.2. This follows an incident that occurred at Hollywoodbets Greyville Racecourse on Monday, 13 February 2023, and subsequent information that has been provided to the NHA. Consequently, the Chief Executive and Racing Control Executive consider that this action is necessary as in their opinion, the continued participation in races of Messrs Yeni and Jacobson may pose an unacceptable risk of prejudicing the reputation, interests, integrity, safety and welfare of racing and its participants.

 

The Inquiry into the incident will be heard as soon as possible.
