Sligo Rider Whip Bans Ruby Walsh was banned for two racedays (to be confirmed) after the Stewards found him guilty of excessive frequency on Rare Article, the head victor of the Smirnoff Mares Maiden Hurdle (Division 1). Robbie Moran got one day for the same offence in the previous race, the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Hurdle. He was on Cara Mara, the all-out half-a-length scorer. Peter Casey junior got Scouting Party home by a length and a quarter in the bumper. His efforts with the whip saw him landed with a one day suspension.
