Moore set to appeal Positive Vibes decision Arthur Moore indicated at Killarney yesterday evening that he plans to appeal the controversial decision made by the Stewards at the Co Kerry venue on Monday. Moore’s runner, Positive Vibes, was first past the post in the International Hotel Killarney Apprentice Handicap, however after a lengthy Stewards Enquiry he was demoted to second, with Shalaman (who finished second) being awarded the race. The majority of people on social media outlets were of the opinion that Leigh Roche, rider of Shalaman, caused his own trouble, however the Stewards took a different view, saying that Ronan Whelan’s mount (Positive Vibes) impeded Shalaman in the closing stages. The decision by the Stewards caused much relief amongst punters, as Shalaman had been heavily backed on-course from 6/1 into 7/2 favouritism.
