Murphy Charged with Drink Driving
- Champion jockey Oisín Murphy was formally charged on June 19 following a single-vehicle crash involving a grey Mercedes A Class that occurred shortly after midnight on April 27 in Hermitage, West Berkshire.

- Murphy has been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol exceeding the legal limit and failing to comply with an initial roadside test, with Thames Valley Police continuing their investigation.
- Murphy is scheduled to attend a hearing at Reading Magistrates' Court on July 3, while the British Horseracing Authority continues to collect details to evaluate any potential consequences.
- Despite legal proceedings, Murphy leads the 2025 jockeys' championship with 49 wins, has secured 86 winners this year, and recently claimed five victories at Royal Ascot.
