He had his licence suspended after the Referrals Committee of the IHRB found he had acted in a manner that “caused significant prejudice to the integrity, proper conduct and good reputation of the sport of racing”
John ‘Shark’ Hanlon will be able to saddle his first runners since November from this weekend following a training ban.
He was initially given a 10-month suspension, but saw that reduced to six after an appeal, with the Appeals Body confirming that Hanlon could make an application to suspend the final three months if certain conditions were met. On condition that Hanlon does not commit any further breach of Rule 272 within the suspended timeframe, for the duration of six months up to June 1 2025, otherwise the suspended part could come into effect along with any other penalties that might arise, the trainer’s licence was restored early on February 14 in the knowledge that he would not be able to run any horses until March 1 due to a new ruling.
Last season’s King George VI Chase hero Hewick has run twice for Cogan this winter, finishing fifth in a Grade One hurdle race at Leopardstown over the Christmas period before coming home seventh behind Galopin Des Champs in the Irish Gold Cup.
