Dr Richard Newland proposed blanket ban on Irish-trained runners in Britain on the back of Cheltenham festival dominance
has said he is “very disappointed” in controversial comments made by Grand National-winning trainer Dr Richard Newland about banning Irish-trained runners in Britain., the English man said British jump racing is in crisis and dramatic changes need to be undertaken by the British Horseracing Authority .
The IHRB declined to comment on Newland’s comments, but Elliott’s response was more forthright on Friday. “All you have got to do is look at Nicky Henderson or Dan Skelton or Paul Nicholls. You never hear them saying a word. That is why they get the results,” he told his sponsors, Boylesports. Jack Kennedy has a handful of Navan rides as he tries to maintain his lead over Paul Townend for the jockeys’ championship, which stands at 111-107.
