He's a very nice horse. I had him in training this time last year and his first bit of work was excellent. I'm glad we didn't run in Gowran now but he got a stone bruise. I've always loved him and he's a proper proper horse. He seemed to handle the goodish ground there today. When you love them at home and they do everything right, and every day is a pleasing day, you like them to come to the races and go and do it properly like a man and he did. He's a real man of a horse. I don't know much about the stallion Full Of Gold but they're not too bad anyway. I don't know what we'll do but probably another bumper if he's not sold. I'll have to get my talking hat on. They are good horses the owners have over here. They sold the lesser horses and the good horses came to Ireland. Liz Doyle, trainer

O'Connor, brought down, My Uncas, ridden by Mr P.W. Mullins, brought down and Little Lady Lu, ridden by Gavin Peter Brouder, fell in running. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned with G.P. Brouder stating that he had clipped a heel and fallen and both Mr D. O'Connor and Mr P.W. Mullins stating that they were unavoidably brought down. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were unable to apportion blame to any rider and therefore considered the incident to be accidental in nature and consequently took no further action
