The plan was to run him yesterday at Galway. He was declared on good ground and obviously it went yielding to soft, so it would have been a waste of time. We ran him on heavy in Listowel the last day and Conor Stone-Walsh said he hated it all the way and never went. Even today I was a little bit worried would the yielding ground be quick enough for him. He has a little bit of a wind problem and needs everything to go right, but he got a very, very good ride today. I told Danny to just drop him out and fill him with confidence and leave him on the bridle as long as he could. . He is a good horse when things go right for him, but he can be very in and out a bit. He struggles to win but I'm delighted for his owner. He obviously likes it here, he won here before and was third twice in two beginners'. . As soon as the ground turns soft or heavy he will be left off, but we might get a bit of nicer ground at some of the better tracks. We will probably keep him on the go for a little bit longer anyway and he'll go on his holidays then. I'd imagine we'll stick to fences with him for the time being anyway, he jumps well, he is very good to jump, he knows what he is doing. R P Cody, trainer
The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident in the closing stages involving Walnut Beach, ridden by G.B
Noonan, placed third, and Mr Saxobeat, ridden by Anna McGuinness, placed second, where it appeared Mr Saxobeat drifted right. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. G.B. Noonan stated that the horse in front of him drifted across and he received a small bump. Anna McGuinness stated that her mount was drifting but she corrected him immediately. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards took no further action other than to remind Anna McGuinness to correct her mount before interference is caused in future
