Robbie Dunne's suspension for bullying and harassing fellow jockey Bryony Frost has been reduced to ten months on appeal.
Dunne was initially found in breach of four charges of rule J19 which covers conduct prejudicial to the integrity, proper conduct and good reputation of racing. The case was brought in response to a number of incidents between February 13, 2020 and September 3 of that year.
At the appeal hearing in Wednesday, which Dunne attended, chairman Anthony Boswell QC felt one breach of rule (J) 19 covered the wrongdoing. Dunne, who denied the charges, was initially banned for 18 months in December, after it was found he subjected Frost to a campaign of bullying and harassment online, on the track and in the weighing room.
