Co Armagh permit holder was hit with what is believed to be the longest ever ban in Irish racing
McNally, who has been able to enter and run horses while awaiting his appeal to be heard, has described the penalties as effectively a lifetime ban from the sport. The sanctions prevent him entering any IHRB licensed premises and racecourses.
Earlier this month trainer David Dunne failed in his appeal against the severity of a two-year suspension, as well as a €5,000 fine and repayment of €27,000 in prize money, after conspiring with McNally to conceal the latter’s ownership of a number of horses who were in his care for a period. The final 18 months of Dunne’s ban has been suspended for two years.
Separately, Ballinrobe hosts its biggest fixture of the year on Monday with a card notable for not only the €80,000 McHale Mayo National. It was on the Louise Lyons-trained horse that Blackmore ultimately got a five-day ban for misjudging the number of circuits in a race at Kilbeggan earlier this month.
