Jogger injured by horse on gallops at Curragh Racecourse loses High Court damages claim

A jogger who sued after one or more galloping horses collided with him at the Curragh Racecourse has lost his High Court damages action and could face a substantial legal costs bill as a result.

Mr Justice David Keane said, while Gary Turner is entitled to "every sympathy" for his injuries and the pain and suffering he has endured, the court could find no responsibility, and hence, no liability, on the part of either the Curragh Racecourse or two sisters whose family have been training horses on the Curragh for almost a century.
