Icantellya withdrawn over passport irregularity

THE final race at Thurles yesterday, the second division of the Mares Bumper, produced a rare occurrence at an Irish racetrack, writes Pat Keane.

The stewards received a report from Turf Club vet, Joan Taylor, in relation to a passport irregularity concerning the John Carr trained Icantellya, who was set to make her debut. The stewards ordered the withdrawal of the five-year-old daughter of Luso.

It subsequently came to the notice of the stewards that the wrong horse had been transported to the meeting.
