Lynch submits licence application

Fergal Lynch has submitted an application to the British Horseracing Authority in a bid to regain his British riding licence.

Lynch, who was acquitted on alleged race-fixing charges in December 2007 when a trial at the Old Bailey collapsed, was given a £50,000 (€59,791) fine as part of a plea bargain with the BHA in 2009 after he admitted stopping a horse, supplying inside information about six of his rides, and associating with the disqualified Miles Rodgers.
