DECLAN Queally Jr has been fined €1,000 over a "heated" exchange with starter Joe Banahan at the Galway Festival - also being warned that a repeat of his behaviour in future will see his licence “come under some scrutiny”.

The referral committee hearing took place on Tuesday at Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (IHRB) headquarters following a weighing room incident between Queally and Banahan on the final day of the Summer Festival at Ballybrit.
