The Turf Club

The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident in the closing stages involving Not Just Any Eagle, ridden by R

Donaghue-Leahy, unplaced, Chutzpal, ridden by A.S. Grant, placed third, and Fortuna Vera, ridden by J

Pietropaolo, placed second, where it appeared Not Just Any Eagle ran short of room. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. R. Donaghue-Leahy stated that her race was run and she was retreating when things got tight. A

S. Grant stated that his mount hung right and he put his stick down and straightened his mount when he heard a shout. J. Pietropaolo stated that the horse on his outside veered in on his mount forcing him inwards. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards found A. S. Grant was in breach of Rule 214, in that he had ridden carelessly, and having considered his record in this regard the Raceday Stewards suspended him for one racedays. In arriving at their decision regarding a sanction the Raceday Stewards took into account that this was the riders second ride. N. G. McCullagh accompanied A. S. Grant at this enquiry

J. Pietropaolo, rider of Fortuna Vera, trained by Joseph Patrick O'Brien, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount got intimidated a furlong out while holding his line

M.W Hassett, rider of Cinammon Coco, trained by Joseph Patrick O'Brien, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount hung left throughout

The Raceday Stewards interviewed Neve Bennett, rider of Barrogstown Girl, concerning her use of the whip in the closing stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned who accepted that she was in breach of the regulation and apologised for her actions. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that Neve Bennett was in breach of Regulation 10.3.g (excessive frequency) and having considered her record in this regard (first offence) the Raceday Stewards suspended Neve Bennett for three racedays

GENERAL INFORMATION The following Raceday Stewards acted on behalf of the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board at this race meeting: Mr. Robert Dore (Chairman), Mr. C. P. Magnier, Ms. Mary Cosgrave, Mr. Anthony Byrne, Mr. L. Walsh
