Jessica Harrington has been successful in her appeal against the decision of the Tipperary stewards over the running and riding of High Tail It.

Harrington was initially fined €1,000, jockey Mark Bolger banned for seven days and the horse prevented from running for 42 days.

On hearing evidence from both Harrington and Bolger, the Turf Club's appeals body decided Harrington had not used the racecourse as a training ground but that Bolger could have given High Tail It a more forceful ride.

Bolger had his ban reduced from seven days to four (May 1, 2, 5 and 8).
