Sherwood rocked by Hereford controversy

Trainer Oliver Sherwood warned he feels like “packing it up” after being fined £3,000 over the running and riding of Furrows in the bet365.com Novices’ Chase at Hereford.

Jockey Leighton Aspell was hit with a 14-day ban (December 19-22, 26-31, January 1-4) while the horse was suspended from running for 40 days.
