Ben Newman ran on to the course at the Epsom Derby on 3 June.
An animal rights activist who ran on to the track at the Epsom Derby has been handed a suspended prison sentence for breaching a High Court injunction.The Jockey Club, which owns Epsom Racecourse, had previously been granted an injunction banning the Animal Rising group from intervening in the event.
"This is not that case, this is a considerable distance - literally - from that scenario," the barrister said. Mr Justice Miles was told that Newman previously pleaded guilty to causing public nuisance in related criminal proceedings and had spent more than 30 days in custody prior to his sentencing in July.
