Joseph O'Brien: Picked up a suspension
Joseph O'Brien has picked up a four-day suspension at Chester.
The rider was found guilty of using his whip above the permitted level when finishing a narrow second aboard Betterbetterbetter, who is trained by his father Aidan, in the Weatherbys Bank Cheshire Oaks.
O'Brien will be sidelined May 23-26 inclusive, which includes the Abu Dhabi Irish Guineas meeting.
However, O'Brien can apply to the British Horseracing Authority to defer the ban as Group One racing will be taking place.
