The Referrals Committee, Mr Martin P O’Donnell (Chairman), Mr John Murphy and Mr Anthony Byrne convened at the offices of the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board on Wednesday, 18 June 2025 to consider whether Miss Ellmarie Holden, (Trainer) was in breach of any rules of racing arising from a stable inspection carried out at her Training Establishment on 3 April 2024 by IHRB Officials.
On the day, the inspection team noted Jack’s Jury was documented in the Medicines Register as having received Osphos on 5 March 2024 and ran in Quakerstown Point to Point on 31 March 2024 and the matter was referred under Rule 87(ii)(f). It was noted that Jet Setting Johnny and Karuma Grey (GER) were returned in training at the time of inspection but not present for inspection. Miss Holden reported they had been sold at Goffs in January and accepted that she had failed to return the Horses out of training.
Miss Holden accepted she was in breach of the rules.
Having considered the evidence, the Referrals Committee found Miss Holden in breach of Rule 87(ii)(f) and Rule 148(xii) and imposed a total fine of €500. The Referrals Committee ordered that Jack’s Jury was disqualified from the following race:
Co Clare (H) Dromoland at Quakerstown – 31 March 2024
Maiden Race for 4YO (Division II)
The case was presented by Ms Christine Traynor BL, IHRB Head of Racing Regulation and Integrity.
