Jockey Benny Woodworth has failed in his appeal against a conviction for not riding the Jason Ong-trained Silver Dragon to the satisfaction of the stewards in Race 1 at Kranji on May 25.
The Singapore Turf Club panel's hearing of the appeal was concluded on July 10.
After considering all the evidence, together with submissions from Woodworth, Ong and the chief stipendiary steward, they dismissed the appeal.
However, the panel reduced the suspension from six months to four months from June 2 to Oct 1, both dates inclusive. His deposit was forfeited.
Woodworth may still see action on Oct 5, though, if he can secure rides on Kranji's final day of racing.
It was on May 29 that the stewards concluded an inquiry into his riding of Silver Dragon.
