he's a smashing horse. I liked him a lot before he ran first time out but he got a bit lost around Gowran and just weakened out on me so we took our time with him. He's a beautiful moving horse with a great mind and a great attitude. Niall said he'll improve a lot, he had a good blow there and ran around a bit in front. He had a wide passage all the way around but there was nothing he could do about that. He's just a nice horse with a future. More time wouldn't go astray on him as he'll make a nicer three-year-old, it's just nice to get a two-year-old race with him. His future is all ahead of him. M Halford, trainer

The Stewards enquired into the running and riding of Aghaboy (GER), ridden by Jessica O'Gorman, and trained by Kevin Prendergast. Evidence was heard from the rider and the trainer's Authorised representative Mr. John Sullivan. Ms. O'Gorman, stated that her instructions were to jump out and get her position, keep a hold of his head, get him to run on at the finish and not to pick up her whip. She felt the race went well for her and overall she was happy with the way the race went. She added that she was concentrating on being tidy in the finish but upon watching the footage agreed that it did not look great. Mr. Sullivan, stated that Aghaboy is quiet a boystrous individual who was gelded approximately 4 weeks ago. He confirmed the riding instructions and added Aghaboy might benefit from a step up in trip but was otherwise well prepared for today's run. The Stewards also received a report from the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer who stated that Aghaboy was post race normal. Samples were taken for further analysis. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that Ms. O'Gorman and Mr. Prendergast were in breach of Rule 212 A (ii)(timely, real and substantial effort). Having considered their records in this regard they suspended Ms

O'Gorman for 10 racedays and ordered her to forfeit her riding fee. Furthermore they fined Mr. Prendergast two thousand euros and suspended Aghaboy from racing for 42 days
