The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (IHRB) hearing into a video of Cheltenham Festival-winning amateur rider Rob James mounting a dead horse in April 2016 will take place on Wednesday.
Just days after the image of trainer Gordon Elliott sitting on the ill-fated Morgan circulated on social media, former champion novice point-to-point rider James confirmed his identity in the separate video and issued an apology over the inappropriate and disrespectful act.
The IHRB confirmed last week an investigation into the matter was underway, but that has now concluded and the evidence will be presented before the referrals body.

Tianmen Shan Big Gate Road, China
An incredible 99 bends (most of them hairpin) loop around this 11 kilometre route over Tianmen Mountain’s vertigo-inducing slopes. If the road itself doesn’t scare you off, take a stroll along the Coiling Dragon Cliff skywalk: a glass-bottomed walkway snaking around the cliffs, some 1,400 metres from the ground.
