- Three valets refuse to work with jockey at Fontwell Park
- Reports of ‘upset’ at appearing in the press over bullying claims
Three weighing-room valets who gave evidence last week to the disciplinary hearing in which Robbie Dunne is accused of bullying and harassing his fellow rider Bryony Frost between February and September last year refused to work for Frost when she took two rides at Fontwell Park on Tuesday.
Graham Piper, Lewis Piper and Mark Sinfield gave evidence to the hearing over a confrontation between the two riders at Southwell last September after a race in which Dunne’s mount, Cillian’s Well, suffered a fatal injury. During the incident, Dunne is alleged to have “promised” Frost that he would put her “through a wing [of a fence]” when riding against her in the future.
