he seemed to try to do the same at the second last flight again today. He's a fine model of a horse though and I'd say we'll let him off now and bring him back chasing next season. C Byrnes, trainer

P.J. Rothwell, trainer of Merrion Row, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his charge finished very distressed in this race. The Turf Club Veterinary Officer examined Jarob (GB), trained by Andrew Lynch, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal. The Stewards enquired into the running and riding of Jarob (GB), ridden by R.C. Colgan, and trained by Andrew Lynch. Evidence was heard from the rider and trainer concerned. R.C. Colgan, stated that his instructions were to settle his mount in around sixth position, get his mount jumping and to do the best he could. He stated that his mount travelled and jumped well tracking the favourite, until the pace quickened up down the back and his mount was unable to go with the leaders. He added that his mount tired in the straight before filling his lungs again and staying on in the closing stages. Andrew Lynch, stated that his charge had been off the track for two years and was as fit as he could have him for today's run. He confirmed the instructions given and expressed his satisfaction with the ride. He further added that his charge would appreciate faster ground. The Stewards also received a report from the Turf Club Veterinary Officer who stated that Jarob (GB) was found to be post race normal. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards noted the explanations offered and advised R. C. Colgan to be seen to make more of an effort in the future.
