Leading owner Michael O'Leary has announced he will continue to support Gordon Elliott despite the publication of an "unacceptable photo" of the Grand National-winning trainer on social media.
O'Leary, who campaigns his horses under the Gigginstown House Stud banner and includes dual Grand National winner Tiger Roll in his team with Elliott, described the incident as a "grievous but momentary lapse of judgement by Gordon" and intends to maintain his association with the County Meath handler.
