Racing: O'Leary is reported

TRAINER Ron O'Leary and conditional jockey Keith Davies were reported to the Jockey Club after Very Evident was pulled up at Southwell on Saturday.

The local stewards called an inquiry after the betting intelligence officer reported significant off- course straight forecast bets involving the 1-3 winning favourite Johnsted and second-placed Hello Sam (6-1).

Davies told the stewards he felt that Very Evident knocked himself at the second flight on the far side. After that the horse lost his action and hung left so he pulled him up, fearing something amiss.
