Racing: Darley ruled out for six days

KEVIN DARLEY was yesterday ruled out of the latter part of this week's Goodwood meeting by a six-day ban imposed by the Jockey Club disciplinary committee.

Darley had been referred to Portman Square after being found guilty of careless riding for the third time this season at Beverley last week. The committee felt that Darley's riding of Efizia had been irresponsible rather than careless. The suspension will begin on Thursday.

Three jockeys will begin bans then for whip offences, Darryll Holland for eight days, and Alan Munro and Dean McKeown for five days.
