BOLGER APPEAL SUCCESSFUL

Jim Bolger appealed successfully today against a decision earlier this month taken by the stewards at Fairyhouse.

Bolger`s Aretha finished a half-length second to Reptar in the Billpay Handicap on August 9th.

The runner-up collided with the winner when beginning her run and the stewards held an inquiry before allowing the result to stand.

However, having considered the evidence at today`s hearing, the Irish Turf Club`s Appeals and Referrals Committee found that there was interference but not caused recklessly or intentionally.

They concluded that the interference did improve the placing of Reptar and they therefore upheld the appeal and ordered that the placings of the first two be reversed and that the records be amended accordingly.
