High Court refuses to continue injunction stopping horse from racing

The High Court has refused to continue an injunction preventing a racehorse - which was believed to have been slaughtered because it had broken down - from racing.

Mr Justice Senan Allen found the Tartan Spartan, which had been sent for slaughter by its owners in 2019 because they said it was "beyond repair", should not be prevented from racing pending determination of its current ownership.
