A racecourse has been fined £6,500 after a jockey was taken to hospital in a horsebox instead of an ambulance.
The incident took place in March at Sedgefield Racecourse in County Durham.
A disciplinary panel of the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) found that the racecourse had failed to comply with five "general instructions" within its Rules of Racing.
The injured jockey's identity was kept private but it was reported that he suffered a left clavicle and shoulder injury after a fall, and was examined by a doctor at the course.
