 Bradley claims he has been made a 'scapegoat' |
Graham Bradley has initiated High Court proceedings to fight his five-year ban from racing. The former jump jockey was originally banned for eight years by the Jockey Club after being found guilty of corruption charges.
This was reduced to five years at an appeal hearing last month, but Bradley is now looking to obtain an injunction as he fights to overturn the sentence.
Bradley and his legal team have until 1600 BST on Monday 7 July to obtain a High Court injunction against the penalty.
Bradley, now a leading bloodstock agent, was found guilty of several offences including the passing of privileged information in return for monetary consideration.
Tim Clarke, Bradley's solicitor, explained some of the grounds on which they are appealing to the High Court.
He said: "We believe the punishment was disproportionate. It also interferes with his right to trade.
"It interferes with certain of his human rights, including that to carry on his business and to hold and keep property."
