She didn't miss the kick which she invariably does and had a good draw today, having had lousy draws for a while. The rain also helped as she needs an ease. I know she is effective in Dundalk but I've always felt she needs a bit of ease. She isn't that big but is heavy-topped and hits the ground hard. She was down to the bottom mark and was in danger of going out of the system. It is a very cruel game here in Ireland as if you go down to 40 and run bad, you are out of the system because you won't get into a race. That's where she was today. We are looking at a very good jockey and a special talent. Patrick Martin, trainer

The Stewards received a request from Kevin Thomas Coleman, trainer of Swiss Army Officer, to substitute the nominated rider Rachel Phelan, with Adam Caffrey, due to the rider informing him earlier that she would be unable to make the weight. Evidence was heard from the rider and trainer concerned. Rachel Phelan, stated that she is a college student and was unable to loose the required weight prior to racing owing to college commitments

Kevin Thomas Coleman, stated that Ms. Phelan works for him in conjunction with attending college and that both he and the rider had not expected to get in being so far down the ballot, but had managed to get in when the race was divided leaving the rider with less time to prepare. Having considered the evidence, the Stewards alloyed the request on this occasion. Furthermore, the Stewards were satisfied that Rachel Phelan was in breach of Rule 195 and having considered her record, they issued a fine of €150 on this occasion.
