Walsh suspension
The Stewards enquired into possible interference in the closing stages of The Ballsbridge Hurdle involving Ocean Cowboy ridden by Mr Benny Walsh, placed second, Pontiac ridden by Robert Power placed third and Stewards House ridden by Davy Russell placed fourth.
Evidence was heard from the riders concerned.
