Munce hit with 30-month Hong Kong ban
Posted
Jockey Chris Munce has received another setback in his bid to resume his career, with an additional suspension imposed by the Hong Kong Jockey Club.
Munce appeared at a hearing in Sydney today where he was found guilty of further offences arising from the "tips for bets" scandal which saw him jailed for 20 months.
He was slapped with a 30-month backdated ban, meaning he will be disqualified until September next year.
He will face a Racing New Wales Committee on Wednesday to "show cause" why the disqualification should not be enforced in Australia.
Munce had been granted a local licence pending the Hong Kong Jockey Club hearing, but he has now been stood down from riding trackwork.
