Melbourne Cup winning jockey Chris Munce has encountered a further setback in his attempt to restart his riding career in the wake of the Hong Kong Betting scandal which saw the popular rider spend several months in jail.

At a reconvened inquiry before Hong Kong Stewards this afternoon (via satellite), Munce has been disqualified from race riding until September 2009.

Racing NSW who granted a licence to Munce on 10th November 2008 subject to him complying with the conditions of his parole and co-operating with the Steward's inquiry being conducted by the Hong Kong Jockey Club, have now been forced to issue Munce with a “show cause” notice as to why the disqualification should not be enforced in Australia.

At a hearing today, stewards of the Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC) concluded the inquiry and found Munce guilty of a number of offences under the HKJC Rules of Racing.

Munce was handed a series of backdated penalties, the longest of which is a 30 month disqualification that expires in September 2009.

The Racing NSW Board has taken legal advice regarding the matter, and as a result of that advice, has today issued Munce with the notice.

The matter is set down for hearing later this week before the Racing NSW Licensing Committee at which time Munce will appear and be afforded the opportunity for legal representation.

In the interim, Munce has been stood down from riding trackwork.

Ends…

萬成會唔會 Appeal 呢??

其實我真係唔鐘意馬會咁樣秋後算帳法
法院已經判左萬成而萬成已經受左懲罰, 點計馬會都唔應該再罰萬成 :zzz:

坐監同停賽又兩回事....同埋佢個30個月都已經包括埋坐監個段日子
