Prominent racing duo face BHA inquiry
The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) has launched an inquiry into whether former jockey Graham Bradley has been training and running horses under trainer Brendan Powell’s name. Powell faces a 3-month ban or £2,000 fine if found guilty.
Bradley was warned off in 2004 for five years for passing information for reward. He has since set up a bloodstock agency. He has applied for a training licence but that is yet to be approved, and he has been assisting at Powell’s Lambourn yard.
It is expected to go to a disciplinary hearing this summer.
