Hillsin’s run at Worcester on Wednesday evening under jockey Dylan Kitts has resulted in the horse being suspended from racing for 40 days and Kitts being referred to the British Horseracing Authority (BHA). Hillsin, trained by Chris Honour, finished third in the 2m4f conditional jockeys’ handicap hurdle. The horse, previously unraced under Honour and without any prior victories, had been the 15-8 favourite the night before the race.
Speaking to the Nick Luck podcast on Thursday, Honour said he was ‘beside myself about the whole thing. I’m upset with it and it is not something I want to be involved in,’ adding ‘I would never tell someone not to win.’
