The British Horseracing Authority have banned Elliott him from having runners in Britain while the investigation is being carried out.
Cheveley Park Stud have become the first major owner to remove horses from Elliott following the controversial photo.
Stud owner Patricia Thompson has confirmed eight horses - including the unbeaten Envoi Allen - would be leaving Elliott and will be split between Willie Mullins and Henry de Bromhead.
We are truly horrified and dismayed by the photograph doing the rounds on social media however, we will await the official outcome of the investigation by the IHRB, which we trust will be swift, before making any further comment/decisions.
