It's lovely to get a win out of him and it's great for Newtown Anner to have a double on the day. He deserves that, he's a great big baby and he is better since he got castrated — he's behaving much better. He might go for a handicap, he needs a mile-and-a-half upwards and nice easy ground. We just didn't get soft enough ground for him during the summer. He was going to go to the sales but they might keep him now. Mrs John Harrington, trainer

The Stewards fined Mrs. J. Harrington, trainer of Anner Castle, €130 for failing to notify the Registry Office that her charge is now a gelding as required under Rule 146 (vi)

The Stewards enquired into possible interference in the closing stages of this race involving Anner Castle, ridden by S. Foley, placed first, Seattle Creek (GB), ridden by C.D. Hayes, placed second and Flora, ridden by J.A

Heffernan, placed third, where it appeared that Flora was bumped, shortly before the finishing line. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. J.A. Heffernan stated that his filly ran keen throughout but had settled in the closing stages and received a bump when making her challenge. C.D. Hayes stated that his mount drifted in front but he collected him up and avoided interference. S. Foley stated his mount was wearing cheekpieces for the first time, ran around and idled when he hit the front and he was satisfied that he took all steps to avoid interference

Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that the interference did not improve Anner Castle's finishing position and they made no alteration to the Judge's placings

The Stewards did, however, find S. Foley in breach of Rule 214, in that he had ridden carelessly, and having considered his record in this regard suspended him for 8 racedays.
