ITV racing pundit Hayley Turner to make another riding comeback later this year
Britain's most successful female Flat jockey Hayley Turner will put down her microphone and return to the saddle for another comeback later this year, once her current three-moth suspension is over.
SUSPENDED jockey Hayley Turner has announced her intention to make another comeback to the saddle later this year.
Britain's most successful female Flat jockey officially announced her retirement from race-riding at the end of the 2015 season, but has made numerous fleeting comebacks since.
Turner, who has also established a media career with ITV Racing and At The Races, landed herself in trouble after breaching the rules governing betting by jockeys.
She is currently serving a three-month suspension handed to her by the disciplinary panel of the British Horseracing Authority.

Speaking on ITV Racing's The Opening Show, Turner said: "I am coming out of retirement - again!
"I've decided to put my TV career on hold and I'm going to get my boots out again.
