Jockey Club to study video of McCoy – Beano incident

JOCKEY Club officials will this week study video recordings and a stewards’ report relating to the incident in which Deano’s Beeno was said to have been hit 50 times by Tony McCoy at the start of a race on New Year’s Eve.

The champion jockey was banned for five days after getting into trouble for his handling of the Martin Pipe-trained 12-year-old before the start of the Unicoin New Homes Spa Hurdle at Cheltenham.

The talented but temperamental gelding was reluctant to line up with his five rivals and received some sharp reminders from McCoy before eventually consenting to jump off when the tapes went up.
