News Report
Stewards Report
Race Conditions

The Turf Club

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Kilcruit, trained by W.P. Mullins, at the request of the Raceday Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal

G. Brouder, rider of Foxy Jacks, trained by M.F.Morris, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount lost his action at the third last fence and was pulled up

The Raceday Stewards enquired into the false start of this race involving Hewick, ridden by B.S. Hughes, Kilcruit, ridden by P. Townend, Easy Game (FR), ridden by Mr P.W. Mullins, Fury Road, ridden by J.W. Kennedy, Lifetime Ambition, ridden by S.F. O'Keeffe, Andy Dufresne, ridden by A.P. Kelly, Final Orders (GB), ridden by S.W. Flanagan, Enniskerry, ridden by M.J.M O'Sullivan, Visionarian, ridden by D.F. O'Regan, Ciel De Neige (FR), ridden by M.P. Walsh, Foxy Jacks, ridden by G. Brouder, Authorized Art (FR), ridden by D.E. Mullins, The Goffer, ridden by D. Meyler, Ash Tree Meadow (FR), ridden by D.J Gilligan, A Wave Of The Sea, ridden by S.D

Torrens, Gabbys Cross, ridden by Rachael Blackmore, Fighter Allen (FR), ridden by B. Hayes, Hollow Games, ridden by Sam Ewing, Hurricane Georgie, ridden by C.P. McNamara, Lieutenant Command (FR), ridden by C.M

Quirke, Upping The Anti, ridden by D.J. O'Keeffe, Born By The Sea, ridden by P.T. Enright. All riders were afforded the opportunity to give evidence. J.R. Banahan, IHRB Starter, stated that the riders were one and a half furlongs away with one minute to go. They were coming nice and quietly when Visionarian peeled away at the back and disengaged. He informed the other riders while girth checking took place behind. They were too hurried and rushed and there was no opportunity to put the flag up. B.S. Hughes stated that he was two lengths behind the horses on his inner but did his best to stop his horse proceeding into a canter. D.F. O'Regan stated that the buckle on his girth became undone which meant he had to peel away. This led to a rushed approach and they got a bit quicker as everyone turned around. His mount got very upset. Rachael Blackmore stated that she was on the rail trying to obey the Starter but that all the horses are lit up and that other riders' horses are throwing their heads in the air. She further stated that the start of this race is difficult every year. B. Hayes stated that with 22 runners in a line it makes the start difficult. C.P. McNamara stated that no one is trying to get going and that everyone was trying to take a pull. Mr. P.W. Mullins stated that this happens in this race every year

Having viewed a recording of the false start and considered the evidence the Raceday Stewards found no breach of rule had taken place and took no further action.
