Lad’s connections win a stay on 42-day suspension
The suspension was handed down, after Tony Martin’s gelding never promised to take a hand at the business end of the Naas event, finishing last of the seven runners behind Arctic Copper.
The decision of the Naas stewards was subsequently upheld by the Appeals and Referrals Committeee of the Turf Club and meant Davids Lad could not go to Aintree.
