A JOCKEY'S SUSPENSION MODIFIED
AUCKLAND, loth June.
The Auckland District Committee heard the appeal of R. Hunt against the decision of the Auckland Eacing Club stewards suspending- him for six months for deliberate interference with Pittsworth in the Great Northern Steeplechase.
The following decision was arrived at: "The committee, in view of fresh evidence tendered, particularly as to the boring habits of Vociferate, and of the
fact that Hunt was not -warned and was an entire stranger to the horse, find 3 Hunt not guilty of deliberately interfering, but guilty of a serious error of judgment in not straightening his horse when interference became imminent. The committee feels that a penalty of suspension until 16th July will meet the case, and therefore upholds the appeal to this extent." The decision of the. stewards awarding Pitteworth third place was confirmed.
