Disciplinary actions taken by JRC stewards

The Jamaica Racing Commission has issued disciplinary measures following recent inquiries conducted at their offices in Portmore, St Catherine, on October 7, 2025. The actions stem from incidents during races held on October 4, 2025. Jockey Jemar Jackson, who rode Dimetry P in the first race, received a one-race suspension for excessive use of the whip. This penalty will be enforced starting October 18, 2025. Meanwhile, Jockey Shane Richardson, who rode Midnight Runner in the ninth race, had his explanation accepted regarding intimidation and interference caused to Prince Roy near the 400-metre mark. The Commission’s decision underscores its commitment to maintaining fair play and integrity in horse racing.
