Ignotus gains Kelso compensation

Ignotus’ last two runs may have resulted in a 40-day ban and a disqualification but he made the right kind of headlines at Kelso.

Alan Swinbank’s runner has been dogged by controversy since finishing second at Catterick on New Year’s Day – a run which resulted in a £5,000 fine for the trainer and substantial bans for both horse and rider Thomas Thompson.
