One of the country's top, yet embattled, jockeys has been charged after two separate incidents, including the alleged posting of a harmful digital communication.
Jason Waddell, 34, made a brief appearance in the Hamilton District Court this morning, when he was remanded without plea on charges of posting a digital communication with intent to cause harm to high-profile Te Akau racing stable owner David Ellis and threatening to kill another racing boss.
