Racing: Riders suspended

Three riders were suspended and seven fines were handed out in a busy day for stipendiary stewards at the Auckland Racing Club's meeting at Ellerslie on Wednesday.

The three riders suspended were Troy Harris, Rogan Norvall and Danielle Johnson. Harris and Norvall were ousted for seven riding days, while Johnson copped four days.

Harris was found guilty of careless riding in race 10. The judicial report said Harris allowed his mount, Natsinga, to shift inwards with 1300m to run when not sufficiently clear of Porika Track. Harris was also fined $100 for leaving the jockeys' room without permission of stipes.
