The Turf Club Veterinary Officer examined Argentino (FR), trained by W.P. Mullins, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be Coughing Post Race. The Stewards interviewed Anthony McCann, trainer of One Cool Shabra concerning the withdrawal of his charge from this race by Order of the Stewards, when acting under terms of Rule 194 (ii)(c)(i), they withdrew the horse as he went to the start without the declared cheekpieces. Evidence was heard from the trainer concerned, who apologised to the Stewards, stating the horse proved difficult to saddle up, and he was distracted and simply forgot to apply the cheekpieces. Having considered all the evidence, the Stewards fined the trainer €100 and reminded him of his responsibilities in this regard.
