He is coming to himself all the time and, being a full-brother to (stablemate) Ideal Pal, we had a rough idea he'd handle the ground. He was very weak early on this year but has started to strengthen. I wasn't expecting him to win as easy as that but he is going the right way and knows what it is all about. It's onwards and upwards but that's him finished for the year as he won't be going to the all-weather. He is named after a friend of mine Robbie McMahon and I'm delighted for him. He is from Leggagh and he asked me to call the horse after him. Michael Mulvany, trainer

The Stewards enquired into an incident before the marker poles involving Coolcalmncollected (GB), ridden by S

Foley, Malacanne, ridden by B.M. Coen, Allesnick, ridden by C.D. Hayes, and Summer Snow, ridden by J.A

Powell where it appeared that Coolcalmncollected and Malacanne met with interference. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. In his evidence, S. Foley stated that his mount jumped to the left out of the starting stalls and he got tightened in a chain effect of movement. B.M. Coen stated that his mount jumped slowly from the starting stalls and got hampered from both sides. C.D. Hayes stated that he was on the outside of Coolcalmncollected when tightened for room. G.F. Carroll stated that his mount jumped to the left out of the starting stalls before being corrected. J.A. Powell stated that his mount jumped quick from the starting stalls and maintained a straight racing line without being involved in any interference. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that any interference which occurred was accidental in nature, and they took no further action.
