Racing: Dunwoody loses out

Richard Dunwoody was yesterday stripped of a winner from last season's magnificent championship tally when the Jockey Club disciplinary committee disqualified All For Luck from Newbury's March Novices Handicap Chase on March 26.

The Martin Pipe-trained gelding's success contributed to Dunwoody's total of 198 winners, four above Adrian Maguire. However, the history books will now record his victory margin at just three winners.

Dunwoody's career total is also reduced by one to 1,137 - just one behind John Francome for second place behind Peter Scudamore in the all-time list.

The Irishman gave up his two booked rides at Sedgefield yesterday after the effects of a fall at Fontwell continued to trouble him.
