He’s been threatening to do that for a while. I don’t know what to make of him, maybe that’s his trip. When you’d run him over two-and-a-half(miles), it looked like he wanted three but, when you run him over three, he looked like he wanted two-and-a-half. He’s been disappointing. The race kind of fell apart in front of him which was a help, but he did find plenty today which was strange. Maybe he’ll come good for us now. His mother was a good mare and he’s a gorgeous-looking horse.
Noel Meade, trainer
The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident on the turn for home involving Harbour Highway, ridden by P.T
Smithers, and Tell Nobody Nothin, ridden by D. Meyler, where it appeared there was contact between the two
Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. P. T. Smithers stated that his mount rolled in but he pulled back out when he heard a shout. D. Meyler stated that there was plenty of room when he went down the rail but the horse on his outside rolled in slightly. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards took no further action other than to remind P. T. Smithers to ride with more awareness when cornering the bend
G.B. Noonan, rider of The Blaggard, trained by Eoin Christopher McCarthy, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount made an abnormal respiratory noise in running and was pulled up
