Lucy Barry failed to weigh in at Doncaster on Monday, becoming the 11th jockey to make that mistake since June
Racing’s rulers are to take a fresh look at what can be done to ensure jockeys weigh in when required, following yet another case this week of a placed jockey failing to do so. Lucy Barry finished second on Hawthorn Cottage at Doncaster on Monday but her mount was disqualified because Barry did not immediately return to the weighing room, which is now in a separate part of the grandstand building from the jockeys’ changing rooms, to allow for social distancing.
