Jamie Spencer has been given a 10-day ban by the Horseracing Regulatory Authority.
The former Champion Jockey was found guilty of failing to ensure his mount Mickmacmagoole achieved the best possible placing in a race at Southwell in November 2005.
He was cleared of any wrongdoing under the non-triers' rule.
The 26-year-old Irish rider, the champion jockey in 2005, was punished instead under the less serious Rule 158, which covers negligence.
"Obviously I am disappointed to be banned as I stand by the ride I gave, but I am glad I have been cleared of deliberately stopping a horse, as that is the reason I came here," said Spencer.
