The National Horseracing Authority confirms that an inquiry was held at its offices on Wednesday, 24 August 2016, into Apprentice Jockey M Mjoka’s riding of MISS ARGENTINA in the concluding stages of Race 7 at the Vaal Racecourse on 11 August 2016.
Mr Mjoka was charged with a contravention of Rule 62.2.3 in that he failed to ride MISS ARGENTINA out to the end of the race, thereby prejudicing his chances of obtaining first place.

Mr Mjoka pleaded guilty to the charge and was found guilty of the charge.

The Board, after viewing the patrol films of the race, considering Mr Mjoka’s record and all the other factors presented in mitigation, ruled that Mr Mjoka be suspended from riding in races for a period of thirty days.

Mr Mjoka has the right of appeal against the penalty imposed.

Looks worse in slow mo,but not blatant like bling or Strydom, just very unprofessional

He gets 30 days for this first offence and Bling gets 60 for his war crime?

Not ayoba.

Very harsh... Lack of skill and experience not malicious... Now why is an appie charged and fined in two weeks but jockeys can take months before they are dealt with?.. Is it because they have committed to big rides for prominent owners...obviously not all are equal before the law!!!!

I`ve just been told that a more experienced Jock shouted at him to watch where he was going, hence the look over his shoulder

I remember that race as I had backed Miss Argentina and thought we were unlucky not to win, but never thought the jockey wasn't trying to win....surprised that he has been found guilty, there again I'm not an expert on this topic......

Rhodi he def stopped riding the last few strides
