He did everything right today. I got a grand toe into the race from Pat Smullen's (Impart) and just when I switched him out he quickened good and put the race to bed. He ran well the first day at Roscommon but was too free at Naas and tired because he was too free. The six (furlongs) was probably ideal for him and they went fast enough to settle him and it was a much improved run. He is happy with a little ease in the ground. If he settled I think he could be nice enough over seven and there is a Listed race for him at Tipperary in a few weeks next. John M Oxx, trainer

The Stewards interviewed C. O'Donoghue, rider, in relation to his conduct before the start of this race, where he was observed hitting his mount, De Boss Man, with his whip, after he had dismounted him. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned who stated that his mount was very uncooperative and untractable down at the start and in an attempt to encourage the horse to walk forward and load, he dismounted him, removed his hood and then he hit the horse once on the hind quarters. Having considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion C. O'Donoghue was in breach of Rule 272 and having taken his good record into account, they severely cautioned him.
