Last two races at Bellewstown abandoned Following an incident in the sixth race at Bellewstown in which a horse slipped up on the bend, the remaining two races at Bellewstown have been abandoned. An IHRB statement read: "The Raceday Stewards reviewed an incident in Race 6 at Bellewstown involving Garrick Painter, ridden by Simon Torrens, where Garrick Painter slipped up. The Raceday Stewards met with a delegation of Riders, the IHRB Clerk of the Course, representatives of the Irish Racehorse Trainers Association and the Racecourse Manager. Having reviewed the footage and considered the observations, the Raceday Stewards determined that in circumstances where they cannot be satisfied that racing should continue due to safety concerns, it is with deep reluctance, they decided that there was no option but to abandon the remainder of the fixture under the provisions of Rule 10.
