Keightley warned-off for three years over Red Lancer affair

TRAINER Shaun Keightley is planning to appeal against the three-year suspension imposed by the Jockey Club over the running and riding of Red Lancer at Wolverhampton in 2003.

Keightley was also fined £3,500 and told not to reapply for a training licence for a further two years after the warning-off period expires.

Red Lancer’s jockey Pat McCabe was banned for 28 days after being found in breach of rule 157, which concerns allowing a horse to run on its merits.
