A big field went to post for the Tote Super Trifecta Handicap at Navan but that didn't dissuade some punters from getting involved in a gamble on Princess Glamour (8s into 11/2).

The Authorized justified the confidence of her backers under Pat Smullen. Smullen rode this one for Eddie Lynam and he brought the three-year-old through from mid-division to lead inside the final furlong, going on to defeat Dash by a length and a quarter.

"She's got a nice pedigree as she's a half-sister to Astrophysics who was just beaten when second in the Flying Childers," said Lynam.

"The owner (Trevor Dalzell) is with me longer than anyone, even her-in-doors hasn't been with me as long, and I'm delighted to get another winner for him."

C.D. Hayes, rider of Greeneyed Monster trained by Kevin Prendergast, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount stumbled independently before the turn into the straight.

The Stewards interviewed J.A. Heffernan, rider of Millington placed fourth, concerning his use of the whip in the closing stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Stewards were of the opinion J.A. Heffernan was in breach of regulation 10 4 in that he had used his whip without giving his mount time to respond, and having taken his record into account, they suspended him for 3 racedays.
