The two of them ran a blinder but she's been a queen all season,. We sent her to France, and of the team I was probably the one most negative about the trip, and it turned her inside out. You can see her today in the ring, she looks like a mare now, she's after maturing lovely and you'd nearly say she's still improving. Colin was adamant that the Curragh wasn't the place for her so we didn't declare and I thought I had a good substitute in Power Under Me. Once the ground is like that he's going to run his race as he proved there, he ran out of room and we probably cost him third. I live my life by 'what's meant for you won't pass you' and they switched it. Zarinsk's headed poked up again and I'd said 'well it's made for her around here'. We went to France for a Group 2 and we got lucky and they put a Group 2 on beside us, and we're after collecting, so it's fantastic. They boys have copped on to her and they won't give her an easy lead but it just shows that she's maturing and we can ride a race on her, which is great. We've got the best man in the business to do that. It leaves us a lovely option now with the Matron, Champions Weekend is huge. Power Under Me can go for the Boomerang, ground being right and this rain doesn't look like it's going to stop, and Zarinsk can go for the Matron. We have a free shot at it now which is fantastic. We'll talk to the family and Barry will discuss it with them, and I'll do what I'm told, but the ultimate aim would obviously be to go to Ch G M Lyons, trainer

D.P. McDonogh, rider of Snapraeterea, trained by Joseph Patrick O'Brien, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount was hampered early on and ran keen

The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident shortly after leaving the starting stalls involving Snapraeterea, ridden by D.P. McDonogh, Lord Massusus, ridden by G.F. Carroll, and Zarinsk (GB), ridden by C.T. Keane, where it appeared Snapraeterea was hampered. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. In his evidence, C.T. Keane stated that he jumped sharp and felt he was well clear when he moved across. D.P. McDonogh stated that he broke slowly and was hampered when he received a brush shortly after leaving the stalls from Zarinsk (GB) and had to take a slight check and later when he started to feel pressure from Lord Massusus on his outside. G.F

Carroll stated that he broke well and ran keen when making slight contact with Snapraeterea. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards took no further action
