THE Appeals Body will consider the Defnite Earl case involving trainer David Broad and jockey Robbie Colgan at 11am in Punchestown today.

This case has been compared to the recent Noble Emperor hearing as it involved major penalties handed down by raceday stewards for an alleged ‘non-trier’ offence. Following Definite Earl’s second place finish at Ballinrobe on April 15th, Broad was fined €2,000, Colgan was suspended for 21 days and the horse was barred from racing for 60 days.
