Horse racing: Irish trainer Elliott banned over dead horse photo

Elliott had been barred from racing in Britain pending the Irish investigation and had already seen several top racehorses moved to other trainers. His yard sponsor had terminated their deal and bookmaker Betfair ended an association with the trainer, whose horses include the Michael O’Leary-owned 2018 and 2019 Grand National winner Tiger Roll. Elliott had confirmed the photograph was genuine and the IHRB said it was taken on the gallops in 2019, with the horse Morgan.
