O'Brien faces more strife with stewards at the Curragh
Joseph O'Brien clashed with Irish stewards again today after riding two winners at the Curragh.
The apprentice is already facing a hearing into two appeals and a referral at the Irish Turf Club tomorrow after picking up a two-day ban at Dundalk and four days at Listowel recently.
O'Brien, who is the son of Ballydoyle trainer Aidan, was suspended for another three days for misusing his whip aboard Battleoftrafalgar in the Animalintex Maiden.
His father was also fined €200 for issuing riding instructions which contributed to a breach of the whip guidelines.
O'Brien is currently involved in a thrilling battle for the Irish apprentice title and his two winners put him level on 33 for the season with Ben Curtis and Gary Carroll.
