The dispersal of the majority of the horses trained by John 'Shark' Hanlon will go ahead after a decision on the trainer’s appeal against the severity of his 10-month suspension was deferred, to be announced within 14 days.
Hanlon received his ban last month after a disciplinary panel held that he had been responsible for the inappropriate transportation of an equine carcass, a course of action that was determined to have damaged the reputation and public image of racing.
