Winning owner who swore at losing trainer and made rude gestures at crowd is fined

An owner who swore at a losing trainer and made rude gestures to racegoers has been fined £4,000.

Graham Jones was found to have breached the rules of racing by acting in an improper manner at Stratford racecourse. His "completely unacceptable" behaviour, described by disciplinary panel chairman Brian Barker, came after Jones had won a race at the track.

His horse, Oneofthesenights, was the 8-15 favourite to defeat sole rival Beau Sancy in a novices' hurdle on August 22 2019. Jones' mare came home 11 lengths in front, after encountering some interference with the runner-up. In a subsequent stewards' enquiry, Beau Sancy's jockey Aidan Coleman received a three-day ban for careless riding.
