Nice article Sly. Maybe he was keeping up to date with the Covid cases contemplating to use his mask?

I assume that this rule is meant to combat nefarious activities. If so, his phone should have been confiscated and examined, as part of an investigation.

That fine is nothing but a slap on the wrist imo, for anyone wanting to commit a crime.

@Sylvester/Dave/Bob,

Are you able to upload further details on this matter from the NHA, including:

(1) Who brought the charges and on what accompanying evidence was it based on?
(2) Was there an admission of guilt signed by Superman or did this matter go to a hearing (Is it possible for the public to have sight of all official documents in this regard);
(3) Is the sanction by the NHA consistent with similar transgressions across the country for all jockeys;
(4) Was this Superman's first transgression of this rule;
(5) On the day of the transgression, did the NHA:
(a) Review all footage of Superman's riding before and after using his cellphone?
(b) Did the NHA look at the betting activity on all races that Superman rode by analysing the tote bets (which online
accounts and/or tote terminals laid winning bets on the races that Superman won?
(c) Did the NHA analyse the betting taxes paid on suspicious races by bookmakers to all the provincial Gambling Board?(6) Did the NHA subpoena the historic cellphone data and calls activity from the mobile phone operators as part of the
investigation into this matter to establish whether Superman utilised his mobile phone previously during a race meeting? If so, did the footage of Superman's riding tactics on those respective days and the analysis of the betting activity (both on TAB and at bookmakers) reflect profiteering by a few usual suspects at the expense of the punting public?

The industry is on its knees and the NHA needs to reassure all stakeholders that this sanction is appropriate and not a Cop-out and more importantly, these matters are investigated adequately
