Irish trainer Gordon Elliott banned pending investigation into 'crass' image of dead horse

The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) has banned Irish trainer Gordon Elliott from racing in Britain pending an investigation in Ireland into a photograph of him sitting on a dead horse.

One of his most high-profile employers, Cheveley Park Stud, said it was "truly horrified" by the image.

Bookmaker Betfair has ended its long-running association with the County Meath-based trainer, whose horses include the Michael O'Leary-owned 2018 and 2019 Grand National winner Tiger Roll.
