STEWARDS REPORT
The Stewards enquired into the running and riding of Mount Corkish Girl ridden by A.E. Lynch, and trained by Mrs Gillian Callaghan.
Evidence was heard from the rider and trainer concerned. A.E. Lynch stated that his instructions were to settle his mount in mid-division, get some cover to try and give her some experience and to finish as best he could.
He added that the horse came under pressure in the back straight on the softer ground and he gave her a chance to fill up her lungs, before staying on past beaten horses.
He concluded by saying that he pushed his mount out hands and heals in the straight to the best of his ability.
Mrs Gillian Callaghan, confirmed the instructions and expressed her satisfaction with the ride.
She added that the mare is small and may be suited by a step up in trip on better ground.
She concluded by saying that she was very happy with today's performance and in particular with the way she finished out the race, thinking about the next day.
The Stewards also received a report from the Turf Club Veterinary Officer who stated that Mount Corkish Girl was coughing post race.
Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that both trainer and rider were in breach of Rule 212, in that Mount Corkish Girl did not run on its merits and having considered their records, Mrs. Callaghan was fined €1,000, A.E.Lynch was suspended for seven race day's and the horse was suspended for sixty days.
