The Animal Rising protester who gained access to the track during last weekend’s Derby will remain in custody after being refused bail at Guildford Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
Ben Newman, who was swiftly removed from the track on Saturday, pleaded not guilty to the charge of causing public nuisance and requested his case to be heard by the crown court.
The 32-year-old represented himself and will be remanded in custody until July 6, when he is scheduled to appear at Guildford Crown Court for a plea and trial preparation hearing.
