Ronan McNally hit with massive 12-year disqualification from Irish ... (Racing Post)

Trainer Ronan McNally has been hit with a mammoth 12-year disqualification from Irish racing, charged €50000 in costs and ordered to return over.

The evidence of their betting on Dreal Deal shows that they had knowledge of the expectations for the horse on the day. The evidence established that on a number of occasions Mr McNally discussed the training and performance of Dreal Deal with Mr Ciaran Fennessy, although there was no good reason to do so since Mr Fennessy was not the owner." "The evidence established that in relation to Dreal Deal, Liam Fennessy and Aaron Fennessy backed the horse not to be placed in Clonmel on March 4, 2020 and March 24, 2020. All Class and Full Noise landed notable gambles under Dunne's name but both were found to be owned by McNally and have since run in his name. Under the rules that cover bringing racing into disrepute, Fennessy has also been declared a disqualified person and had his licence suspended for three years, with the final two years suspended for a period of five years. It states that Ian Devlin of Paddy Power Betfair gave evidence of Aaron and Liam's Betfair accounts when requested by the IHRB, which were found to show "definite bias towards" McNally's horses. [Limerick](https://www.racingpost.com/results/188/limerick/2020-10-10/768810/)and [Navan](https://www.racingpost.com/results/193/navan/2020-09-19/766951/)in the autumn of 2020. They also backed Dreal Deal to win on the day it won at Navan on September 19, 2020. "His offences strike at the integrity and the objective of having a level playing field for all who send horses out to race. It is a considerable sanction for Fennessy, who relies on trading horses, and will almost certainly spell the end of McNally's training career. McNally's ban is by some way the longest issued to an Irish licence-holder, exceeding the four-year licence suspension - reduced by six months on appeal - Stephen Mahon received for bringing racing into disrepute as a result of welfare breaches. In Dunne's case, that covers an aggregate 36 races in which All Class, Full Noise and Petrol Head ran in his name while McNally's ownership of the horses was concealed.
