Cheltenham handicapper denies 'anti-Irish bias' after Michael O'Leary criticism
British Horseracing senior handicapper Phil Smith insists "there is no semblance of any anti-Irish bias" following the publication of the weights for the 10 handicaps at the Cheltenham Festival.
Smith and his team have been criticised in some quarters for handicapping Irish horses running in this country, instead of using performance figures from their homeland.
