Carberry banned for 30 race days and fined €5,000

PAUL CARBERRY, never too far from controversy, has been banned for 30 race days for failing a breath test at Naas on October 31.

It was the second occasion Carberry had failed such a test and, in addition to the lengthy ban, he has also been fined €5,000, after going before the Referrrals Committee of the Turf Club yesterday.

A press release by the Irish Turf Club read: “Having considered the evidence, the committee noted the seriousness of the offence and the fact that it was Mr Carberry’s second such offence.
