Tyrrell has appeal dismissed

Eamon Tyrrell has had his appeal against the three-year ban handed out as a result of the Casella Park affair dismissed.

Irish trainer Tyrrell, who was represented by Brian Kennelly, appealed against the decision of the disciplinary panel of the British Horseracing Authority and against the length of the suspension.

The BHA panel ruled that jockey Jason Behan did not allow Casella Park to run on its merits at Newcastle on August 4.

Behan was also banned for three years but he did not appeal against the decision.

On top of the three-year ban being upheld, Tyrrell was ordered to pay £7,000 in costs and lost his £800 deposit.
