De Boinville cleared of making racist comments at Cheltenham

Nico de Boinville has been cleared of making racist comments towards Irish amateur jockey Declan Queally following an investigation into an incident at the Cheltenham Festival last week.

Tempers flared ahead of the Turners Novices' Hurdle on day two of the meeting - one of many races blighted by a false start during the week - as both De Boinville aboard eventual second Act Of Innocence and Queally on I'll Sort That jostled for a similar inside position.
