A deleted tweet suggested Gordon Elliott is effectively still in charge with Denise Foster expected to formally take license
More detail could emerge on Monday on the extent to which Gordon Elliott’s six-month ban from training will remove him from day-to-day involvement in his stable, when the
Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (IHRB) is expected to formalise the transfer of responsibility for his Cullentra House stable to his near-neighbour, Denise Foster.
The Irish racing authorities decided on Friday to suspend Elliott’s licence for six months after a photograph emerged of the trainer posing on a dead horse on his gallops in 2019. Mr Justice Groarke, the IHRB committee’s chair, said in delivering its decision that a suspension of Elliott’s licence was “merited … to reflect the seriousness of the offence and the damage to the Irish racing industry”.
