Barry in bother well done to the stewards

BARRY GERAGHTY has been ruled out of the Punchestown festival with a 30-day ban for his ride on Noble Emperor at Limerick.

The horse has been banned for 60 days and trainer Tony Martin has been fined €3,000.

Steward Michael O'Donoghue said: "All horses bar the winner were involved in a running and riding inquiry. Noble Emperor was done under Rule 212, not allowing a horse to run on his merits.

"The trainer was fined €3,000. The horse got 60 days, the rider got 30 days and forfeited his riding fees."

A clearly shocked and angry Barry Geraghty chose not to be quoted with regard to his 30-day ban. He is almost certain to appeal.

Barry Cash was afforded a big lead on the 2-1 shot Velocity Boy, with Geraghty sat in the pack some 20-lengths adrift. Jumping the last in the back straight Geraghty moved into third and moved into second approaching the second last.

Geraghty attempted to close on the leader but could only get within 11 lengths on the 7-4 favourite, pulling 15 lengths clear of the horse in third Cliff House.
