Jack gave him a good ride and it's great for the boys (Tom Howley and Ollie Murphy, owners). He's a low grade handicapper, he is what he is and I didn't know what trip he wanted but he probably enjoyed being up there. Gordon Elliott, trainer

R. Walsh, rider of Loyalty Card, trained by Augustine Leahy, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount hung right. The Turf Club Veterinary Officer examined Loyalty Card, trained by Augustine Leahy, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal. The Stewards interviewed I.J. McCarthy, rider of Vintage Supreme, concerning his use of the whip in the closing stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that the rider was in breach of Regulation 10 3.(f) in that he had used his whip with excessive frequency. Having considered his previous record, the Stewards suspended him for one race day.
