Lynch succeeds in licence application

FERGAL Lynch has been successful in his application to the British Horseracing Authority for a jockey’s licence.

Lynch has not ridden since being charged as part of the City Of London police investigation into alleged race-fixing last year.

Lynch, along with weighing-room colleagues Kieren Fallon and Darren Williams and three others, was acquitted earlier in the month after the trial collapsed at the Old Bailey.
