Newman decides not to appeal Lee Newman has decided against launching an appeal over the 14-day ban he was handed by the racecourse stewards at Bath on Tuesday.The rider received the suspension after he was adjudged guilty of failing to ride his mount, Lady Two K, out to the line in the Tote Fillies` Handicap, in which the pair finished second to the Kieren Fallon-ridden April Stock.But Newman`s agent, Nicky Adams, said today that after viewing videotapes of the race with Jockeys` Association boss Michael Caulfield, the rider had made the decision not to take the matter any further.'He`s decided that it`s tough to go down there and win,' explained Adams.'It`s very unfortunate, he was very unlucky to get caught out like that but he`s taken it on the chin and I`m sure it will make him a better jockey.'Rather than taking a holiday, he`ll be riding out every day, working for Mr Hannon and Mrs Dutfield, and hopefully going up to Newmarket for a bit so that when he does come back on May 26th he`s got plenty of nice rides waiting for him.'
