Kieren Fallon has been fined a total of £3,140 by the disciplinary panel of the British Horseracing Authority over his failure to arrive in time to take his first two rides at Chester on May 5.
The BHA looked into the circumstances surrounding Fallon's late arrival at the course to ride Fred Willetts and Forte Dei Marmi.
The six-times champion jockey was given the lion's share of the fine, £3,000, after being found guilty of deliberately misleading a BHA employee, namely William Nunneley who was head of Stewarding at Chester on the day.
He was handed the other £140 for not informing the clerk of the course with an explanation as soon as possible after he became aware he would be unable to ride the two horses in those races.
The BHA will publish the full reasons for their decisions in due course
