RACING'S MOST bizarre "ringer" case should reach its conclusion today. The bogus amateur "Angel Jacobs" finally appears before the Jockey Club disciplinary committee charged under the rules regarding misleading the stewards and acting in a manner prejudicial to racing's integrity.
The ex-American professional rider, whose real name is Angel Monserrate, has been summoned to appear following investigation of the case in which he masqueraded as a member of the unpaid ranks.
He rode in 21 races in this country for which he was ineligible and partnered five winners. Monserrate, who rode five winners in the US, had his licence withdrawn in August and his mounts have been disqualified, with discretionary compensation paid to those denied prize-money by his efforts.
