Controversial trainer Charles Byrnes plans to appeal a six-month suspension of his licence after being found to be “seriously negligent” when one of his horses was found to have been “nobbled” with a sedative at Tramore in 2018.
Already under pressure due to criticism of some of its anti-doping practises, Irish racing was rocked further on Tuesday when the high-profile trainer was penalised on the back of dramatic findings by the sport’s regulatory body.
