he goes into the starting stalls late which is a big help and while the plan wasn't to make the running, he jumped and took it. Cian (Horgan, winning jockey) probably won too far but it wasn't the plan to make the running and there was no pace so he left him use his pace. last year he was working with horses rated 90 up the Curragh and destroying them. He is a very big horse so maybe it was weakness and he might only be coming to himself. He is shoving 16.2hh and is a very big strong powerful horse. The Punchestown Friends Syndicate only have him a month and have won twice with him so they're lucky. The lads are builders who my brother Brian met at Punchestown and they have three horses with us. They are getting seriously into it, are a lovely bunch of lads and have a staff party tonight but hopefully he'll win again next Wednesday when they're here. Andrew Slattery, trainer

The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident approximately two furlongs from the finish involving Phil's Dream, ridden by S. Foley, Hero Of The Hour (GB), ridden by C.D. Hayes, Thirtysecondstreet, ridden by N.M

Crosse, and Poet's Pride (GB), ridden by L.T. McAteer where it appeared Thirtysecondstreet got a bump and became unbalanced. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. N.M. Crosse stated that he was first off the bridle, he was at Poet's Pride(GB)'s girth, when he hadn't the horse to go through a gap and got a bump. S. Foley stated that his mount raced awkwardly in first time blinkers when he made contact with Thirtysecondstreet. C.D

Hayes stated that they went very steady, he received contact from his inside but it didn't alter his position. L.T

McAteer stated that he went for a run, felt no contact and kept a straight course. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were of the opinion that any interference which occurred was accidental and they took no further action.
