Bryony Frost has called for jockeys to “respect our rules” as she made a winning return to the saddle – two days before Robbie Dunne comes back from a bullying ban.
Last December Dunne received an 18-month suspension – reduced to 10 months on appeal – for his “deliberate, unwarranted targeting” of Frost between February 14 and September 3, 2020.
He returns with three rides at Hereford on Tuesday.
Frost, out of action since fracturing a vertebra at Aintree in April, scored on her first ride back as Zikany landed the Wynne Tufnell Aldbrook Handicap for professional jump jockeys at Goodwood on Sunday.
And she urged racing to “progress and move forward” in line with the industry-wide code of conduct which came into effect on Saturday.
“There’s a code of conduct now and a line is clearly drawn for everybody to know it’s there,” said the 27-year-old.
“It’s time to kick on and respect our rules, and with that comes responsibilities. We are professional in the sport that we do – we all love our sport – and we want to promote it in the best way.
"It’s now time to get the head down and keep kicking for those winners and enjoy our sport. We all have to progress and move forward. That’s part of life.”
Frost, due to make her return over obstacles at Fakenham on Friday, added: “To have my first winner on the Flat here on a day like this after such a long lay-off– you couldn’t write it.
“I’ve done the hard work now and it’s time to start work. The adrenaline is flowing and this is what we live for.
"It was a long process but it's not our first time being out for so long, we know what to do with our body now to get it back 110 per cent."
