UPDATED 7:29PM, JAN 19 2021 Irish racing was left reeling on Tuesday following the revelation that Cheltenham Festival-winning trainer Charles Byrnes's licence has been suspended for six months after Viking Hoard was found to have tested positive for a sedative following a race at Tramore in which he was heavily laid to lose. One wager had a liability of €34,889 to win €3,200 on the defeat of Viking Hoard, who was pulled up in a handicap hurdle in October 2018 having drifted from 4-1 to a starting price of 8-1. No evidence was found linking Byrnes to these bets. It was established that Viking Hoard was subject to a "dangerous degree of sedation during the race", and the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board's referrals committee accepted the interpretation of the evidence the horse had been "nobbled" by an unidentified third party when left unaccompanied. It consequently noted that "it follows as a matter of probability that Mr Byrnes's general mode of operation permitted such a strategy to be viable".
