Neil Clement, a racehorse owner and former professional footballer with West Bromwich Albion, has also been banned from the sport for 15 years and three months for using information from Ahern to lay bets against his horses on the Betfair betting exchange.
Ahern was found to have deliberately prevented Judgethemoment, a six-year-old gelding trained by Jane Chapple-Hyam, from running on its merits in a two-mile handicap at Lingfield on 21 January 2011. Ahern set a furious pace on Judgethemoment, “what one would expect in a six- or seven-furlong race” in the eyes of the panel, and then dropped back through the field from halfway.
