The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Friendly Star (FR), trained by A.J.Martin, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal. Samples were taken for analysis

The Stewards intended to enquire into the running and riding of Friendly Star (FR), ridden by P.J. Carberry, and trained by A.J.Martin. Prior to evidence being heard, the Stewards became aware that A.J. Martin was not present at this meeting and his sole registered Authorised representative, Ms Cathy O'Leary, was also absent. Masaki Yamamoto presented himself as the Authorised representative but informed the Stewards that he did not have any written notification of his appointment and therefore nothing had been lodged today with the Clerk of the Scales as required under Rule 147(v). Having considered this matter, the Stewards fined A.J. Martin €130 for his failure to comply with his requirement under Rule 147(v) to lodge written notification with the Clerk of the Scales of the appointment of an Authorised representative to act on his behalf at today's meeting. Furthermore, the Stewards were not in a position to proceed with this enquiry and referred the matter to the Referrals Committee.
