Financial dispute with a part-owner causing potential bankruptcy for Patrick Neville, the proprietor of The Real Whacker.
In the world of horse racing, the name Patrick Neville has been making headlines for a different reason than his victories at the Cheltenham Festival. Neville, a renowned trainer, is facing the possibility of bankruptcy, as a bankruptcy petition filed by his business partner, Rebecca Dennis, is set to be considered at Darlington County Court on Thursday.
Dennis, who took over the management of Neville's business after he moved to Britain from Ireland in 2021, claims that subsequent dealings between them have resulted in a net debt in her favour, a claim that Neville denies. The crux of the dispute revolves around a financial issue, with Dennis seeking to recover the €110,000 loan she gave to Neville three years ago, which remains unpaid.
Neville, however, is represented by Dennis, adding an interesting twist to the situation. It's important to note that Dennis owns a quarter-share of The Real Whacker, the best horse in Neville's Leyburn stable. The Real Whacker made a splash at the 2023 Cheltenham Festival, winning a narrow victory over Gerri Colombe in the Grade 1 Brown Advisory Novices' Chase.
