McInnes is accused of running Commando Scott 9 times in 2009 despite knowing the horse had undergone de-nerving surgery the previous year.
McInnes is also charged with failing to conduct his business with reasonable care and attempting to mislead a BHA investigator.
Owner William Morris has also been charged with misleading investigators.
After leaving McInnes, Commando Scott was trained by Declan Carroll (for who the horse won twice). The BHA investigation established Carroll was unaware of the horse's previous medical history, and he has been absolved of any responsibility and does not face any charges.

So presumably it's not a crime to have the de-nerving surgery carried out, but is a crime to run a horse knowing that it's been carried out.?

By:
Believe that is correct ged - horses that has had a neurectomy is specifically prohibited from running.

Wasn't this Howard Johnson's main misdemeanour?

Johnson was warned off for 3 years after been found guilty of running Striking Article following a neurectomy.

GEORGE, Hojo's suspension was a severe blow to horseracing in the North, a hefty and meaningful fine
would have been more appropiate, look where NH racing in the north is now with the loss of Hojo and Wyllie. |

I imagine it was a blow to the northern racing scene wee eck , but there is no way on gods earth you can have someone running horses like that training , you cant weigh up punishment either by economics .
Trainers who run animals in that state should be jailed Same for all |

By:
wee eck, he also recieved a further ban for drug offences - do you think they should have just given him 'a slap on the wrist' for that too?
How much should a "hefty and meaningful fine" been iyo to someone as wealthy as Johnson? |
|
By:
I guarantee you guys this, most trainers in the North would prefer Hojo and Wyllie
still in business up here they were good for the game. George a big enough financial penalty would have hurt Hojo and probably would have been beneficial to the game overall. |

i'll grant you they miss hojo spending wylies cash

*received
wee eck, do you think HoJo and Wylie will set up again once his ban ends? |
|
By:
Very big loss no doubt about that he cost the northern racing scene a lot , what he did was horrifying and to the wider public tarnished racing a great deal
Only one person to blame for that though and deserved all he got |
|
By:
elise, Wyllie did not give a monkey's about how much Hojo spent as long as he got be winner or two
at the big Cheltenham meeting |
|
By:
that was my point wee eck in relation to your comment about him being good for the n east
|

By:
GEORGE, Definitely no, all over Hojo is enjoying pottering around his farms and
it seems that Wyllie is fully occupied in his new venture at Close House a golf and hotel complex a few miles from Newcastle. |
