It's been a dog's age and I genuinely thought he'd never win a race,. Down off 69, in Roscommon and named Four Country Roads, if ever there was a day it was today. Fair play to Sean O'Keeffe he's given him a lovely patient ride and got him into a lovely rhythm. He jumped like a buck. It's come true today anyway and we're delighted. He's a 30 race maiden, I gave up counting six months ago how many times he's ran and not won. His owner Tony O'Donnell is a great fella. His bill is due in the middle of the month and he's there at 10am by the 15th. Those type of lads are great and I'm delighted for him. He bought him off Sean Moran in Kelly's Bar around midnight one night. Sean was fed up with him, maybe around his 20th run, and he bought him for five grand. He runs every two weeks, what more do you want?. He won a point-to-point for John Staunton and he's a good leaper, he's safe as houses. He causes no bother and you'd hardly know he was there. All things considered he's probably paid his way today. Brian M McMahon, trainer

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Miss Us O, trained by B. R. Hamilton, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal

The Stewards interviewed C.P. McNamara, rider of Meehall, concerning his use of the whip in the closing stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned who accepted he had used his whip outside the whip guidelines. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Stewards were satisfied that C.P. McNamara was in breach of R10.3(i) and having considered his record, they suspended him for 1 raceday

B. R. Hamilton, trainer of Miss Us O, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his charge didn't handle the ground.
