He received a ten month ban last month
Trainer John ‘Shark’ Hanlon has failed in an attempt to have his suspension deferred until April.
Last week, he received a ten-month ban after the remains of a deceased horse from his yard was filmed being transported on an open trailer.
Half of that suspension could be suspended if he abides by Referrals Committee rules.
However, that ban must begin on December 1st after the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board denied Hanlon’s request for a deferral.
