Sulky racers have jail terms and road bans cut on appeal

A four-minute sulky race that resulted in over a year of YouTube notoriety was back in court yesterday where five of those involved had their five-month jail terms reduced by two months and their six-year driving bans cut by a year.

Judge David Riordan heard the appeals of their district court sentences at Cork Circuit Appeals Court yesterday.

He decided to reduce the jail time and period off the road in all five cases.
