we were glad we had Patrick for a race like that. He wasn’t tied down to any instructions, they went a good gallop and Patrick was confident enough to keep a hold of him and it paid off, as Patrick and Jamie (Codd on Chosen Mate) were the only two travelling off the home bend. We’re delighted with that, and he’s won three races now since Easter. He’s achieved a lot more than our wildest dreams. He may go to Galway and we’ll see what the (flat) handicapper does with him. I don’t think he’ll go hurdling just yet. Emmet Mullins, trainer

The Stewards interviewed Mr A.P. Fahey, rider of Ishyaboi, concerning his use of the whip in the closing stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that the rider was in breach of Regulation 10.3(b) in that he had continued to use his whip after his chance of winning or being placed had clearly gone. Having considered his previous record in this regard, the Stewards suspended Mr. A.P. Fahey for 2 racedays and advised him to familiarise himself with the rules in relation to use of the whip
