Martin appeal date set

Connections of Davids Lad will have their appeal heard at the Turf Club on Monday at 3pm as they bid to overturn a punishment that would rule their horse out of the Martell Cognac Grand National.

The date was set today for the appeal by trainer Tony Martin against the 42-day suspension for the horse and €1,000 fine he received for using the racecourse as a training ground.
