Nyhan’s licence suspended
The Templeton reinsman, Denis Nyhan, had his horseman’s licence suspended from tomorrow until September 20 after his application for a review of penalty was dismissed last evening. Nyhan was suspended after an incident with Distinctive on the first night of the New Brighton meeting last Saturday, but applied for a review on Thursday evening, allowing him to continue driving.
The connections of Damp Destiny and That’s It were advised these horses must trial twice to the satisfaction of a stipendiary steward before racing again. Bronze Mission, which compounded badly in the Avon City Ford Pace, was found to have got his tongue over the bit. This horse’s performmance will be closely monitored at his next start by the stipendiary stewards.
