Godolphin says it will support James McDonald in the wake of Tuesday's announcement by Racing NSW that it has charged the champion jockey in relation to a bet placed on star colt Astern last year. "Godolphin acknowledges the stewards' report that Racing NSW is investigating James McDonald for an infringement of the rules of racing," the statement said. "His decision to step down from riding, pending the outcome of the investigation, is the right one. We will continue to support him throughout this process." The statement concluded: "Prior to the outcome of this enquiry, and in order not to prejudice the findings, we will make no further comment." McDonald voluntarily stood himself down on Tuesday from all riding engagements pending the hearing of the charge. Racing NSW stewards have not ruled out laying further charges. Reply
