MILTON HARRIS, one of the leading jumps trainers in Britain, has had his licence suspended by the British Horseracing Authority.
He will not be able to run any of his horses until at least January, when a Licensing Committee hearing has been scheduled.

It is unclear why the BHA have suspended Grade 1-winning trainer Harris, who currently sits third in the trainers’ standings with 33 victories.
A BHA spokesperson said: “Following a hearing before the Chairperson of the independent Judicial Panel of the BHA, Mr Harris’s licence has been suspended pending a Licensing committee hearing in January.
“This is as a result of a breach of the conditions on his licence and related matters.”
Two of his runners were mysteriously scratched by officials at Ludlow on Thursday, with the BHA stewards report stating they were “not qualified”.
