Alan Jarvis has had his application for an extension to his temporary licence turned down by the British Horseracing Authority.
Jarvis lost his permission to train under the BHA’s ‘fit and proper person’ rule relating to a debt owed to Doncaster Bloodstock Sales, and is currently operating on a temporary licence which expires on Saturday.
The family had hoped that his son, Tim Jarvis, would be able to take out a licence of his own having passed all the required modules but the BHA has decided not to issue him with the required documentation.
That decision has been appealed by Tim Jarvis and a hearing to reassess his application is scheduled to place on June 2.
Alan Jarvis was unsuccessful in his appeal last week against the BHA’s original decision to revoke his licence.
Speaking after the latest hearing, he expressed his disappointment at the decision.
“In making this decision no thought or feeling has gone towards the staff, owners or other family members,: Jarvis said.
“They say I’ve given racing a bad name, but I know people who have done far worse who are still training.
“I had one debt and three-quarters of it was there to be paid to Doncaster but they wouldn’t wait for the final STG50,000 ($A91,265) and they carried out their threat.
“To say I showed no contrition is wrong. Everybody knows what happened with my son dying and daughter getting cancer. I lost the plot for two years.”
