Irish trainer Paul Gilligan disqualified for six months by the British Horseracing Authority

"He has been found in breach and he has been disqualified for six months."

Irish trainer Paul Gilligan has been disqualified for six months at a rehearing by a disciplinary panel of the British Horseracing Authority for sending a horse to race at Uttoxeter who had previously competed at an unrecognised meeting in Ireland.

The Galway handler had received the same penalty in March, by a panel chaired by Matthew Lohn, for running Dubawi Phantom at Uttoxeter when he was not qualified to run in Britain.
