Irish Jockey Robbie Dunne makes winning return after 10-month bullying ban

Robbie Dunne has made a triumphant return to horse racing by winning at Hereford.

Making his first appearance on the track in 10 months, Dunne rode Ernesto to victory in the 2.45 at Hereford on Tuesday, edging out Nico de Bonville ridden Jen's Boy by less than a length.

Dunne was initially banned last December for 18 months, with three months suspended, having been found to have bullied and harassed fellow jockey Bryony Frost. The ban ended on Sunday, meaning Dunne was once again free to ride from Tuesday.
