A SICKENING video appearing to show a jockey laughing while jokingly riding a dead horse is being investigated by racing chiefs.

The clip, widely circulated on social media, comes after Gordon Elliott’s dead horse photo shame.

Racing chiefs in Ireland confirmed they are investigating the clip

Elliott, 43, has been banned from racing in Britain just two weeks ahead of Cheltenham Festival.

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board confirmed they are aware of the new horrific video and looking into it.

A tweet read: “The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board are aware of further social media content circulating and the matter is under investigation.”

One social media user who had viewed the clip wrote: “Absolutely disgusting!”

Another posted: “How sick is this. F***ing disgusting.”

While one comment read: “That’s totally inexcusable, so disrespectful.”

In the video, a horse lays stricken on the side of the gallops.

Two men near the horse’s head appear ready to help move the body.

But then the video pans round to capture the moment a man runs up to the horse and jumps on it, straddling the dead body as if riding it.

The man then gets off and pats the body on the side before the video ends.

The British Horseracing Authority – who yesterday issued the ban on Elliott’s runners – is also aware of the clip.

However, it is not yet known if they will carry out a formal investigation into the matter.

More to follow.
