Re: Ballydoyle trio found guilty of team tactics

Aidan O'Brien, Johnny Murtagh and Colm O'Donoghue have have all been found guilty of breaching the rules of racing in relation to the Juddmonte International Stakes won by Duke Of Marmalade at Newmarket last month. The Ballydoyle trio appeared at a British Horseracing Authority disciplinary panel hearing in central London today to answer charges relating to O'Donoghue's manouvre aboard Red Rock Canyon in the final four furlong of the Group One event. The jockey moved the pace-setting Red Rock Canyon away from the rail allowing Murtagh aboard Duke Of Marmalade a clear passage. O'Donoghue pleaded guilty to a breach of the 'team tactics' rules in that he made a manouvre in a race in the interest of another horse in common ownership. The panel found Murtagh in breach of Rule 220 (iii) in that he acted in a manner prejudicial to the proper conduct of racing, while the panel ruled that O'Brien failed to give adequate instructions concerning the rules of racing.

What sort of punishment will they get then? Fine for Ballydoyle and suspension for jockeys??
