He's a horse that should improve for nicer ground in the spring time and we'll mix it between Flat and jumps with him. I think he'll improve over hurdles as he gets his jumping together. He's a big horse and could jump a fence in time. W P Mullins, trainer

D.E. Mullins, rider of Fraternity trained by Anthony Mullins, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount jumped poorly

The Stewards enquired into possible interference at the final hurdle involving M C Muldoon, ridden by Mr P.W

Mullins, placed first and Whowonthetoss, ridden by D. Meyler, placed second, where it appeared that M C Muldoon jumped to the left and collided with Whowonthetoss. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. D

Meyler in his evidence stated that his mount was turned sideways at the last hurdle, lost his momentum, took time to recover and was gaining on the winner going to the line. Mr. P.W. Mullins in his evidence stated that his mount went left at the last stride before jumping the hurdle but felt that movement from both horses caused the collision

Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that any interference caused was accidental in nature. Having regard to the winning distance, they made no alteration to the Judges placings and took no further action. Mr. Justice Tony Hunt absented himself from this enquiry and Dr Paddy Molony acted as Chairman.
