He disappointed at the Curragh and there was no reason for it so we decided to put the blinkers on. But, even though he's won, it seems the blinkers didn't work as Chris was hard at work as soon as they jumped out. A Oliver, trainer

J.A. Heffernan, rider of Bantry Bay, trained by A.P.O'Brien, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount was unable to go the pace when the race quickened off a slow early pace. The Stewards requested a report from A. Oliver, trainer as to the apparent improvement in form of Panama Hat (GB), placed first, as compared with its previous run at the Curragh 28th June. A. Oliver reported that he had no known explanation for the below average performance the last day but made one alteration today by fitting a half cup blinker instead of the previously successful use of cheek pieces and believed that this may have contributed to his charge returning to form. Having considered the evidence the Stewards noted the content of the report.
