Henderson was given a £40,000 fine and restricted from making any entries for his horses for three months following a personal hearing on Thursday.

The NTF expressed sympathy for Henderson and are hoping talks with the BHA over the use of treatment to protect horses’ welfare can yield satisfactory results.
