Doyle Set For Newcastle Return Friday

Top jockey Hollie Doyle, who has been recovering from an elbow injury suffered in a fall at Wolverhampton on Jan. 17, is set to make her return to the saddle on Friday at Newcastle after over two months on the sidelines.

The 26-year-old rider will pilot the Archie Watson-trained Rhythm N Hooves (GB) (Pearl Secret {GB}) at Newcastle, while her weekend rides at Doncaster include Richard Spencer's Revich (Ire) (Requinto {Ire}) in the Lincoln, and Wilderness Girl (Ire) (No Nay Never), trained by Adrian Nicholls, in the Cammidge Trophy.

The six-time Group 1-winning rider was the first female to win a Classic aboard Nashwa (GB) (Frankel {GB}) in the G1 Prix de Diane last year and is the retained rider for owner Imad Al Sagar's Blue Diamond Stud.

“Getting back for the start of the turf season was kind of a target for me and thankfully I've had the go-ahead,” Doyle said. “I'm looking forward to getting back in the saddle and doing what I love really. It'll be good to get back to work. I know it's been a long time, but I've always had it in my head that it could have been a lot worse. It's sorted now, so hopefully I get a clean run at things now.”

Berry Banned Until 2024 For Accepting Considerations

Sydney-based jockey Tommy Berry has been disqualified and is set to be out of the saddle for more than a year after being found guilty for “accepting a consideration” from a local punter in exchange for advice, Racing.com reported on Tuesday. The 31-year-old rider received the verdict and his punishment in a hearing before the NSW stewards on Tuesday and already has filed his intentions to appeal and apply for a stay of the suspension.

Berry was handed a total disqualification of 11 months and two weeks for “accepting or agreeing to accept considerations” from Gold Coast butcher and active punter Zaid Miller. Barry is believed to have accepted $15,000 through a deposit from Miller to a family member's bank account after he won more than $100,000 based on information he received from the rider. In Australia it is illegal for jockeys to accept considerations from anyone other than a horse's owner without permission from stewards.

Berry also received an additional four-week suspension for having a mobile phone in the jockeys' room, which is forbidden during race meetings.

Berry's disqualification was set to begin immediately and run through Sunday, Dec. 31, 2023, before the extra four-week suspension starts, making him ineligible to ride until Monday, Jan. 29, 2024.

Australian media reported the considerations related to bets placed by Miller on horses Waterford (Ire) (Awtaad {Ire}) at Warwick Farm on Mar. 23, and Character (Aus) (Teofilo {Ire}) and Promise Of Success (GB) (Dansili {GB}) at Newcastle on Mar. 28. Berry rode both Waterford and Character.

Overall Berry faced six charges and was found guilty on all counts.
