Prodromou set to appeal eight-year ban

UK-based trainer George Prodromou has signalled his intention to appeal after being disqualified for eight years following the conclusion of a disciplinary hearing centring around the running of two horses at Lingfield in January 2010.

The horses, Timeteam and Trip Switch, were found not to have run on their merits by the British Horseracing Authority disciplinary panel, having been laid to lose on the betting exchanges.
