Newman fails to overturn ban Jockey Lee Newman has lost his appeal against the length of the 28-day ban he picked up at Newbury on Saturday, the British Horseracing Authority have said. Newman appeared to mistake the half-furlong marker for the winning post on Russian Rave in the chrisbeekracing.com EBF Fillies' Stakes. Despite rallying, Russian Rave lost by a head and Newman was handed the lengthy suspension. His appeal was heard by the disciplinary panel of the BHA on Thursday morning but was dismissed.
