Jessica Harrington was fined 1,000 euro and jockey Mark Bolger suspended for seven days after the running and riding of High Tail It in the Tipperary Races Supporters Club Maiden Hurdle.
Sent off at 14-1, the four-year-old raced towards the rear in the early stages before making late progress to be beaten four and three-quarter lengths in second behind the winner Voisey's Bay
The stewards heard evidence from Bolger and Harrington, who expressed her satisfaction with the ride on the horse's first run, stating he is a chaser in the making who will benefit from a step up in trip in time.
They also heard from the on-course veterinary officer, who concluded High Tail It was post-race normal.
Having heard the evidence and studied film of the race, the officials concluded that both trainer and jockey were in breach of Rule 212, with the JP McManus-owned horse also banned from running for 42 days.
