A flat-race jockey has been found guilty of being in charge of his silver Mercedes car while over the drinks limit at Heathrow Airport.
Slade O'Hara, 36, was not driving the five-door hatchback at the time so avoided an automatic disqualification, but was hit with ten penalty points on his driving licence.
The winner of fifty-three horse races, of Church Road, King's Lynn, Wolferton, Norfolk was fined £261, with £85 costs and ordered to pay a £32 victim surcharge.
He pleaded guilty to being in charge of the vehicle, while unfit through drink, on the Terminal Two forecourt on January 26.
The biggest win of O'Hara's racing career was the Group Two Temple Stakes at Haydock Park in 2009 when he rode Look Busy to victory.
Between 2002 and 2016 he secured 53 victories, netting prize money of approximately £440,000.
