The largest syndicate operator in Australia has apologised for "shameful" comments made about Co Meath trainer Sheila Lavery.
Australian Bloodstock continues to source its best horses from Europe and won last year’s Melbourne Cup with ex-French-trained runner Gold Trip.
It recently announced the recruitment of last year’s Irish 2,000 Guineas runner-up New Energy, who was trained by Lavery for her brother John Lavery, to join the top Australian stable of Ciaron Maher and David Eustace to be aimed at the prestigious Cox Plate.
