Overview

• Victoria de Sousa, 39, was accused at Cambridge Crown Court of wounding the jockey with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
• Judge Andrew Hurst adjourned proceedings after the defence said no plea had been decided, noting concern over the delay.
• She appeared in court wearing an electronic ankle tag imposed as a bail condition.
• The defence argued the tag hinders her riding-instructor work and costs her about £5,000 a month, but the judge refused to remove it.
• The alleged incident was on July 27, the day before Silvestre de Sousa won at Yarmouth, and he has continued to ride at a high level.
