you'd be in the poor house if you followed this horse since he won his bumper here!. He won his bumper really well but has had silent wind problems since. I did his palate this year and then he came out and Donagh (Meyler) was second on him but then never travelled on the ground (when pulling up) in Galway. that today is kind of the nice horse I thought he was and I just have to keep on top of the silent wind problems. There's a nice Grade B handicap in Gowran and if the ground is good he'll go there - it’s over three miles and he needs the three miles. Liz Doyle, trainer

The Stewards requested a report from Miss Elizabeth Doyle, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Bosco Di Alco (FR), placed first, as compared with its recent run at Galway 6th August. The trainer reported that her charge had shown his best form on good ground and was also a winner of an I.N.H Flat race here in the past but he was unable to handle the soft underfoot conditions at Galway on his most recent run. Having considered the evidence the Stewards noted the content of the report. The Stewards fined Miss Elizabeth Doyle, trainer, ?350 for lodging a passport in respect of Bosco Di Alco (FR), in which the vaccinations did not conform with the provisions of Rule 91. The Stewards allowed the horse to run on receipt of the trainer's written assurance that the vaccinations were in order.
