Lynch looks to regain licence

by JP Lonergan , 20 January 2012

Jockey Fergal Lynch has submitted his application to the British Horseracing Authority as he looks to regain his British riding licence.


Lynch faced race-fixing charges in 2007, but was acquitted when the trial at the Old Bailey collapsed.

The jockey, however, did find himself hit with a £50,000 fine as part of a plea bargain with the BHA in 2009 when he after he admitted stopping a horse, supplying inside information about six of his mounts and associating with disqualified former owner Miles Rodgers.

"The application was made on Tuesday and we are awaiting the BHA's response," Lynch's solicitor Rory MacNeice was quoted as saying by the Irish Independent.

Lynch had an appeal to regain his British licence turned down last March, and has most recently been riding under a Spanish licence in Ireland.
