This time two years ago, I rode a Grade 1 winner for Emmet (Mullins) at this festival, so can’t thank him enough and also my agent Gary Cribbin, who has done a fantastic job this season. I did fancy Sea Music although a few people thought today mightn’t be his day. He’d been going well, was unlucky the last day when he shot Donagh out of the saddle at the first fence, so we had him well warned today!. Fingers crossed all roads will lead to Galway but this is great to get: it’s a prestigious race and a great pot (€60,000) to win.
Emmet Mullins, trainer
The Raceday Stewards received a request from Mr. P.A. Fahy, trainer of Prince Palace, to substitute S. Ewing for H.A. Sexton who is currently stood down. Mr. P.A. Fahy stated that he was unable to find a suitable replacement claiming rider that could do the low weight. Having considered all the evidence, the Raceday Stewards allowed the replacement on this occasion and took no further action
A.P. Kelly, rider of Zenta (FR), trained by W.P. Mullins, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount got a bump at the first fence and never travelled afterwards. The Raecday Stewards reviewed the video footage and were satisfied no further action was warranted
S.W. Flanagan, rider of Black Bamboo, trained by John Joseph Murphy, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount jumped deliberately
The Raceday Stewards reviewed an incident turning in involving Western Diego, ridden by S.F. O'Keeffe, and Lisnagar Fortune, ridden by D.E. Mullins, where it appeared they came very close together as Lisnangar Fortune passed Western Diego. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the matter, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted.
