前英国骑师Gavin Eades因未配合调查和对参赛者及官员的不当行为，被Racing Victoria列入禁止人士名单。[1]这一处罚导致他被无限期禁止进入赛场、下注、参赛或从事赛马行业工作。[1]Racing Victoria表示，"董事会认为其继续参与赛马行业不符合希望"。[1]
Eades的职业生涯曾取得显著成就，拥有502场胜利和6场Group 1赛事胜利，共参加4088场骑乘。[1]他在1994年赢得了Doncaster Handicap。[1]然而，这不是他首次因违规受罚。[1]1995年，他因NSQ骑手录音案被禁赛12个月，该案涉及出售比赛提示和误导证词。[1]此外，Eades曾在2023年11月因向Racing Victoria完整性团队成员打骚扰电话而被禁赛6个月。[1]现年59岁的Eades于2022年12月骑完最后一场比赛。[1]
Former British jockey Gavin Eades has been placed on Racing Victoria's list of prohibited persons and is now banned indefinitely from entering racecourses, placing bets, competing, or working in the racing industry [1]. Racing Victoria's board determined that "the board does not consider his continued involvement in the racing industry to be desirable" [1], citing his failure to cooperate with investigations and inappropriate conduct toward competitors and officials [1].
Eades, now 59 years old, rode his final race in December 2022 [1]. His career achievements included 502 wins across 4,088 rides, including six Group 1 victories [1]. He won the Doncaster Handicap in 1994 [1]. The current ban follows a six-month suspension imposed in November 2023 after he made harassing phone calls to members of Racing Victoria's Integrity Team [1]. This represents a significant escalation in disciplinary action against Eades, who was previously banned for 12 months in 1995 in connection with the NSQ Jockey Tapes scandal, which involved the sale of race information and misleading testimony [1].
