IHRB say confirmation came this morning that prohibited substance was found in horse’s sample after Bellewstown win on July 6th
Trainer accuses IHRB of harassment after favourite Petrol Head pulled from Galway HurdlePinkerton rolls back the years with exciting Galway Plate success for Noel Meade
Petrol Head was part of a long-running IHRB investigation into Co Armagh-based McNally that resulted in the horse being disqualified from 10 races, including one win, due to the concealment of his ownership at that time. She added: “That horse has a profile. I’m not an eejit. I know rumours are going around and whatever.
Petrol Head won at Bellewstown to secure his place in Thursday’s big race where he was due to be ridden by Danny Gilligan. “They never told me until 12.0 that the horse couldn’t run, and basically all that showed up in that horse’s sample was Clenbuterol, which is a syrup. It actually showed up in a hair sample, not in the urine.
“They obviously knew I was going for the Galway Hurdle after the horse ran in Bellewstown and they didn’t stop until they got some little inkling somewhere.
