昆士蘭賽會跟大眾唔會發牌俾萬成

Chris Munce will be banned from riding in Queensland while he is still under disqualification by the Hong Kong Jockey Club.

Queensland Racing Limited (QRL) chairman Bob Bentley, decided on Tuesday to state his board's position on the Munce issue after the controversial jockey withdrew an application late on Monday to ride in his former home state.

Munce, who rode a winning double at Hawkesbury on Sunday, was expected to ride the Gai Waterhouse-trained Horizons in the $2 million Magic Millions Classic (1200m) at the Gold Coast next month.

However, Bentley said any jockey applying to ride in Queensland was required by the rules of racing and licensing procedures to satisfy a number of conditions, including being free of any penalty from a racing authority in Australia or overseas.

Munce was disqualified for 30 months, backdated to March 2007, by Hong Kong Jockey Club stewards after he pleaded guilty to breaching Hong Kong racing rules.

"When he did not appeal, he gave away the right to dispute the Hong Kong disqualification," Bentley said.

Bentley, who is also the new Australian Racing Board chairman, said Munce was not free to ride again in Hong Kong until September 1 and therefore could not satisfy conditions needed to have his licence renewed in Queensland.

"We operate in an era where the future prosperity of the industry largely depends on international competition and global wagering," Bentley said.

"This requires cooperation with all racing jurisdictions and consistent application of racing rules."

Racing NSW licensed Munce after a 20-month spell from racing in which time he served a jail sentence for tipping for financial gain while riding in Hong Kong.

The ARB does not have the power to direct states on licensing matters which means it will be a state-by-state decision on whether the international agreement will be honoured by state jurisdictions.

Racing NSW deemed Munce had served the penalty for 35 breaches of the racing rules and refused to reciprocate a 30-month ban on a 36th charge after taking legal advice.

That ban was tied to a breach under the criminal code of the Hong Kong SAR and Munce would not have been convicted had it taken place in Australia.
