INQUIRY – JOCKEY C ZACKEY

The National Horseracing Authority of Southern Africa confirms that at an Inquiry held in Johannesburg on Thursday, 23 January 2025, Jockey C Zackey was charged with a contravention of Rule 58.10.2 (read with Guideline M in Appendix E on the use of the crop).  The particulars being that he misused his crop by striking WORLD OF ALICE more than 12 times (14) in the entire race during Race 6, the Betway Fillies Mile (Grade 3) at Turffontein Racecourse on 30 November 2024.

Jockey Zackey pleaded guilty and was found guilty of the charge.

The Inquiry Board, after considering the mitigating factors presented, the evidence of the patrol films, and the status of the race, imposed a penalty of a suspension from riding in races for a period of fourteen days and a fine of R14 900 (Fourteen Thousand Nine Hundred Rand).

Jockey Zackey was given the Right of Appeal against the penalty imposed.

.....smack tax again.....also see that Chad Little got 2XR1000 for rides on 2 mounts in minor midweek racing.....so it is all too evident that one has to factor in how much you are willing to pay....a hard ask for okes battling to count to 12.....and its never been proven that a horse can feel 2 too many either....

No problem giving them an easy with no smacks or a few  in last 200 whe tooo far out of his ground!!!!
The Nhra has absolutely no idea of what is important and should be looked at. Haven't seen a proper riding enquiry in years ? Yet every fan will point out one a week at least?
