He was better today than he was in Tramore which might have been a bit tight for him. There was atrocious ground in Tramore too and he just didn’t travel. He travelled well today and stayed it out well. He’s only a six-year-old and is improving. He’s a fine, big scopey horse and should jump a fence. T M Walsh, trainer
Prior to the meeting, the Raceday Stewards approved a request from Clerk of the Course, Mr. B. Sheridan, to amend the distance of this race to 2 miles 6 furlongs and 205 yards, due to necessary rail realignment
Owing to low-lying sun, the Raceday Stewards granted permission for hurdle 4 to be omited from this race
The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident in the straight involving Lough Nigara, ridden by R.A. Doyle, and The Flying Donkey, ridden by P.T. Enright where it appeared horses got tight for room on the outer. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. P.T. Enright stated that he came wide to produce his run in the straight. His horse is weakening and going backwards when he lays onto Mr. Doyle's horse but there is very little contact. R.A. Doyle states that he got through the first spur no problem but he has to come off his racing line to get back in but felt he didn't bully his way in. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were of the opinion that any interference which occurred was accidental and they took no further action
The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident at the bend passing the stands involving Yabo, ridden by T.P
Harney, Greenhill Damsel, ridden by J.J. Slevin, Imbolc, ridden by S.W. Flanagan, Thegoaheadman, ridden by K
Callaghan, and Perfect Arch, ridden by Anna McGuinness where it appeared horses got tight for room. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. T.P. Harney stated that his mare was a bit free and head strong, he felt he kept a safe line, he didn't receive pressure from his outside but had to wrestle his mare around the bend. J.J. Slevin stated that he was aware of Mr. Flanagan and that the bend was tight. S.W. Flanagan stated that he followed the running rail but didn't feel or hear anything. K. Callaghan stated that he was on the outside, he kept the same line around the bend but didn't see or hear anything from behind. Anna McGuinness stated that there was a little bit of bunching but no contact. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were of the opinion that any interference which occurred was accidental and they took no further action.
