The Stewards interviewed P.A.Fahy, trainer of Treacy's Star, regarding the late arrival of the horse into the Parade Ring. Evidence was heard from the trainer concerned. Having considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that the trainer was in breach of Rule 32, having failed to have his charge in the parade ring at a reasonable time before the signal to mount was given and having considered his record, the trainer was fined €100 and reminded of his future responsibilities in this regard.
