I thought he was going to be free so I said the best place to be was in front. He works at home on his own so it is no bother to him,. We've had point to point winners but that's my first track winner and I have the restricted license myself. I'm forty and my father Mick Conheady was a jockey in the past. I'm a farmer and always keep one or two horses and the winners in the point to points keep us into it. This is my biggest success!. The horse is named after Newmarket-On-Fergus where we live and he is a fine big horse who we bred ourselves. James Conheady, trainer

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Colonel Bellew, trained by Joseph Patrick O'Brien, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal

The Stewards interviewed Mr J. Conheady, rider of An Forghas, concerning the whip he used in this race, which appeared to fall short of the standard required. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned, who accepted that his whip was not approved for use on a racecourse and apologised. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Stewards were satisfied that Mr J. Conheady was in breach of Regulation 10.1 (use of only air cushioned whip permitted) and having considered his record, they cautioned him on this occasion
