Gordon Elliott has had his first winner since returning from his six-month suspension for sitting on a dead horse.
The leading Irish trainer, 43, was banned for 12 months, with half of that punishment suspended, after an image of him sitting on a dead horse was widely circulated on social media in March.
Elliott was also ordered to pay costs of E15,000 - with the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board stating the punishment reflected 'the seriousness of the offence and the damage to the Irish racing industry' after the image provoked huge public outcry.
