O'Brien to wait on penalty

Aidan O’Brien will have to wait at least a week before finding out his punishment in relation to the Cape Blanco affair at York in May.

The Ballydoyle trainer was initially charged with “acting in a manner prejudicial to the conduct and/or good reputation of racing” after instructing his employee, Pat Keating, not to trot up the horse in front of the British Horseracing Authority’s veterinary officer and the senior racecourse veterinary surgeon as part of their examination of the colt after his Dante success.
