Ted Walsh cleared in Foxrock inquiry

Trainer Ted Walsh has been cleared of any wrongdoing and will face no penalty over the Foxrock case, the Turf Club has announced.

Walsh and jockey Adrian Heskin attracted the attention of the stewards when the horse finished third at Punchestown on December 7.

Officials on the day accepted explanations that the seven-year-old had finished slightly lame and lost both front shoes during the course of the race, although they banned Heskin for not reporting the issues in the first instance.
