Jockey Brodie Loy suspended three weeks after Gundagai clash
Jockey Brodie Loy was suspended for three weeks and apprentice Jordan Quince fined $1,000 after a heated confrontation at Gundagai.
A verbal altercation in the female jockeys' room at Gundagai on September 6 led to disciplinary action by Racing NSW stewards. Brodie Loy entered the restricted area and aggressively confronted Jordan Quince over her riding, using offensive language.
The confrontation escalated. Fellow riders had to separate them.
Quince threw a gear brush at Loy as he left the room. Both pleaded guilty to improper conduct.
Loy's three-week suspension runs from October 12 to November 2 but remains subject to appeal. Quince was fined $1,000 with $500 suspended for 12 months.
This leaves $500 payable immediately. Stewards considered both riders' guilty pleas, disciplinary records, and the need to protect racing's reputation.
