It was great. She stayed at it well, Aidan said the race fell apart a bit. It’s great to get a winner, she’s a home-bred of Noreen’s (McManus). It’s always nice when the fillies win. She just about got away with the ground, I’d say. We’ll see what the handicapper does and look for something similar. This (William Hill) series is a great incentive, so fair play to them. It’s nice to get one on the board in it anyway.
Padraig Roche, trainer
K.M. Donoghue, rider of Matt Connor, trained by J.P.Dempsey, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that he lost his position going to two out
The Raceday Stewards enquired into the running and riding of Matt Connor, ridden by K.M. Donoghue, and trained by J.P.Dempsey. Evidence was heard from the rider and trainer concerned. K.M. Donoghue stated his instructions were to jump off in the middle of the pack, get him jumping and ride him to come home. He added he ended up too far back after there were three riders unseated at the first so he was riding for luck after that. He further added that Matt Connor jumped well and travelled ok throughout but after getting tight for room on the run to the second last he rode him to get him to run on at the line. J.P.Dempsey confirmed the instructions given saying he was happy with the horse and riders performance having seen the melee at the first. The Raceday Stewards also received a report from the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer who reported the animal to be post race normal. Samples were taken for further analysis. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards noted the explanations given by the rider and trainer.
