Hughes banned for 19 days Richard Hughes has been suspended for 19 days under the totting up system after a hearing of the BHA Disciplinary Panel. They held an enquiry into his ride on Yurituni at Lingfield on November 4th and, after hearing evidence from Hughes and viewed video recordings of the race, accepted his admission that he was guilty of careless riding. Taking into account that since May 14th Hughes had been suspended for 24 days for careless riding, it suspended him from riding for a total of 19 days (consisting of one day for careless riding at Lingfield and 18 days under the 'totting up' procedure). Four days of this penalty will be deferred for six months until 14 June 2011. The suspension will run from Tuesday 30 November until Tuesday 14 December 2010 inclusive. The jockey, edged out by Paul Hanagan in the title race, will be riding in India this winter.
