- Clip emerges in wake of Gordon Elliott gallops image
- Envoi Allen reported to be off to Henry de Bromhead
Rob James, an amateur jockey who rode Gordon Elliott’s Milan Native to win at Cheltenham last March, said on Tuesday that he wished to “sincerely apologise” after a video emerged which showed him climbing on to the back of a dead horse.
James, quoted by the Irish Field, confirmed that he was the individual in a video which started to circulate on social media on Tuesday morning. He is seen briefly climbing on the corpse of a horse which had died beside a gallop, accompanied by laughter from onlookers, apparently shortly before the body is to be removed.
