Short-changed punters are once again the only losers
At Tipperary on May 20 the stewards on duty that evening took an entirely different view of the riding of a horse called Ballyronan Boy in a seven furlongs plus flat race.
They decided the racecourse had been used as a training ground and the 66-1 shot was suspended from racing for 60 days, trainer, Michael O’Connell, fined 1,500 and jockey, Ronan Whelan, suspended for seven days.
