A jockey failed to try and win a race after he was threatened by the father-in-law of a Premier League footballer, he has said.
Jockey Dylan Kitts finished third on Hillsin in July 2023 at Worcester, but has now said he stopped his horse from running on its merits.
He is now facing a disciplinary hearing alongside trainer Chris Honour and John Higgins, who is an associate owner of Alan Clegg. Clegg has not been charged.
It is accused that they breached the racing rules by committing, or conspiring to commit, a corrupt practice by agreeing to stop the horse from achieving its best possible placing.
