I grew up with horses and ponies and racing is all I wanted to do. I've no family background in racing but my sister Shelley rides too and hopefully I can kick on now. That was only my third ride. We were worried about Willie's one (Mullins, Nt Field Minnesota). We got her wind done and it has turned her form around. She was well-beaten on her only run last year and she was weak then too. . Her owner Charles (Flattery) is a breeder and she'll be for the breeding sheds. Charles is just down the road from me in Summerhill. . I'd say she'll go jumping now, as she jumps well. Finbarr comes into me in the evenings, and he is a good kid. Nigel Thomas Slevin, trainer

Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that Mr. A.P.Ryan was in breach of Regulation 10.3(g) (frequency) and Regulation 10.3 (i) (time to respond). Having considered his record in this regard they suspended him for nine Racedays
