Gordon Elliott banned for six months and ordered to pay hefty costs

Horse racing trainer Gordon Elliott has been banned for 12 months with six suspended.

Elliott has been ordered to pay costs of €15,000 following his appearance at Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board referrals committee hearing.

The ban and fine come after a picture of Elliott sitting on a dead horse circulated on social media.

The Meath-based National Hunt trainer admitted the image was genuine in a statement released on Sunday evening.
