Amateur jockey Theo Gillard was hit with a 28-day suspension by the stewards at Ludlow for persisting to ride an exhausted horse.
Gillard, who claims 7lb, was riding 250-1 chance Blackadder for his father Mark in the Openbet Juvenile Hurdle.
Having pulled hard early he made frequent mistakes before tailing off quickly, but the young jockey did not pull his mount up.
Blackadder took a tired fall at the final flight and it was some 10 minutes before he rose to his feet.
On examination by a vet the horse was found to be post-race normal but the stewards ruled Gillard was in breach of Rule (D)45.3 and suspended him for 28 days, on dates to be notified by the British Horseracing Authority.
