The former jockey has been charged under the
British Horseracing Authority’s anti-corruption rules
Tom Morgan, who shared the
Irish jump jockeys’ title in 1986 and rode Yahoo to finish second to Desert Orchid in the 1989 Cheltenham Gold Cup, will face charges under the British Horseracing Authority’s anti-corruption rules at a disciplinary inquiry on Thursday which could lead to a ban from the sport of up to 10 years.
Morgan was a familiar figure in the winner’s enclosure in both
Ireland and
Britain in the 1980s. He was joint‑champion over jumps in Ireland with Frank Berry in 1986 and subsequently moved to
England, where he enjoyed a successful association with the trainer John Edwards.
