Cooper Suspension The Stewards enquired into possible interference around the furlong marker involving Maidin Moch, ridden by Kevin Manning, placed, fourth and Motafaany, ridden by Brian Cooper, placed, second. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Des Cummins, representing Mr. Kevin Prendergast trainer of Motafanny also attended the enquiry. Having viewed the video of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards made no alteration to the judge’s placings, however they were of the opinion that Brian Cooper had ridden carelessly and suspended him for two race days.
