Tyrrell and Behan ‘hung out to dry’ by BHA

IRISH Racehorse Trainers’ Association chief executive Jim Kavanagh believes trainer Eamon Tyrrell and jockey Jason Behan have been “hung out to dry” by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) after being disqualified for three years for not running Casela Park on his merits at Newcastle on August 4.

The pair have sought legal advice after the BHA disciplinary panel found them guilty of the offence after concluding that Behan’s ride amounted to “deliberately preventing a horse from winning” the [e-mail] Handicap.

“I’ve been in touch with my solicitor and it’s under judicial review,” said Co. Kildare-based Tyrrell.
