I thought he was very good when he won his point-to-point at our home place in Templemore. But he didn't want to know when he went up to better class and he was lairy enough. The blinkers helped him to concentrate and the drop down in class was also a help. He'll be way better over fences. John Patrick Ryan, trainer

The Stewards requested a report from John Patrick Ryan, trainer as to the apparent improvement in form of Kylecrue, winner, as compared with its recent form. Mr Ryan reported that he had been running his charge in better grade handicaps, particularly his last run in clonmel, where he ran from out of the handicap, and he struggled to go the early pace in those races and today he was running in a weaker grade handicap, where his charge could travel well with the early pace and get into a nice rhythm, and this, coupled with the application of first time blinkers may have brought about any apparent improvement in form. Having considered the report, the Stewards noted the explanations offered.
