Findlay splits with Barber and Nicholls

DENMAN’S co-owners Harry Findlay and Paul Barber have mutually agreed to end their association.

Professional gambler Findlay will no longer have horses with Paul Nicholls, the trainer of 2008 Cheltenham Gold Cup hero Denman.

This stems from Findlay being banned for six months after being found guilty by the British Horseracing Authority of laying one of his own horses, the Nicholls-trained Gullible Gordon, on two separate occasions in contravention of the rules of racing.
