The Stewards received a report from the Clerk of the Scales, Mr.W.Fleming, that R.P. Downey, rider of Shes No Joke, placed third,weighed in six pounds underweight. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned and also from the trainer Mark Fahey. In his evidence the trainer stated that he inadvertently left the lead back off when saddling the horse. Having considered the evidence, the Stewards disqualified Shes No Joke, in accordance with Rule 231 and fined the trainer ?500, having found him in breach of Rule 148. The Stewards requested a report from Donal Kinsella, trainer as to the apparent improvement in form of Maudlin Magdalen, placed first, as compared with its recent form. The trainer reported that his charge disappointed on her last start, when wearing blinkers for the first time. He added that he removed the equipment today and that in hindsight she may have resented them. Having considered the evidence the Stewards noted the explanation offered.
