Billionaire businessman Luke Comer ‘reviewing’ last week’s appeals body judgment ahead of his trainer's licence ban which begins in a fortnight
Luke Comer weighing up options after failed appeal against three-year suspension of trainer’s licenceBluestocking secures Pretty Polly glory at the Curragh
Last week’s appeals body statement referenced a separate disciplinary case involving trainer Tony Martin who last month failed to secure a judicial review from the High Court of his three-month licence suspension from the IHRB. Martin applied for such a review on the eve of his ban beginning. “But it also is the case that Mr Comer failed to provide, on the balance of probabilities, a reasonable explanation for what occurred. The prohibited substances were not found in a single horse, but rather in approximately 10% of the horses being trained by Mr Comer.”
The businessman is also a significant sponsor, including backing the €600,000 Comer Group Irish St Leger at the Curragh in September, the second day of the Irish Champions Festival.
