I’m delighted with that and Rachael was really happy with him. He took a little blow turning in and is having another good blow now so hopefully he will come on from that. It’s great to get him back on track. Obviously he was very disappointing the first day and hopefully we can keep the heart right. Rachael said it’s very testing ground and she thinks he’ll be better on nicer ground. He did a piece of work since Tipperary and worked well. He’s just been tipping away since and we keep monitoring the heart. Certainly before and after he runs now we will always check his heart. Christmas may come a bit soon but there is a nice race at Naas in early January. He can go there and if all goes well then to the Irish Arkle. Henry De Bromhead, trainer

The Stewards enquired into the running and riding of All The Best, ridden by M.J. Molloy, and trained by A.J

Martin. Evidence was heard from the rider and Cathy O'Leary, Authorised Representative for the trainer concerned. M.J. Molloy, stated that his instructions were to jump off three quarters of the way back, get his mount jumping well and to do his best from there. Cathy O'Leary, confirmed the instructions given and expressed her dissatisfaction with the ride that her charge received. She felt the rider had his mount far too far back and as a consequence had no chance of winning from where he was and she also added that the rider could have been much harder on his mount. The Stewards also received a report from the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer who stated that All The Best was post race normal. Samples were taken for further analysis. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards noted the explanation given by the authorised representative. They were, however of the opinion that M. J. Molloy was in breach of Rule 212.A.(ii), in that he was not seen to have been the subject of an attempt to achieve from his mount timely, real and substantial effort and having considered his record in this regard the Stewards suspended M. J. Molloy for ten racedays

Furthermore, The Stewards suspended All The Best for a period of 42 days in accordance with the provisions of Rule 212.C(d).
