Guest to face February inquiry

RICHARD GUEST has been informed he is to face a disciplinary hearing at the Horseracing Regulatory Authority following November’s animal cruelty case.

The trainer, along with two employees, Richard Dalton and Louise Tidman, was given a two-year conditional discharge from Durham Magistrates’ Court for causing unnecessary suffering to an animal when What’s A Filly was put down after developing a severe infection in her near-hind leg.

Guest admitted to failing to exercise reasonable care and supervision.
