Danny Gilligan lands another successful appeal against whip ban
Leading jumps jockey Danny Gilligan has successfully appealed an eight-day suspension handed to him over his use of the whip at Kilbeggan last month.
On Tuesday, Gilligan had the ban lifted by an Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board appeals panel after arguing that the race-day stewards erred in judging that he’d failed to give Rosie’s Wings “time to respond” to a strike when he finished third in a novice hurdle as a 2-1 favourite.
