The Raceday Stewards granted a request from Sean Byrne, trainer of Disco Boy, for an additional ten minutes to present his charge for identification by an IHRB Official in accordance with Rule 90(i)
The Raceday Stewards reviewed an incident approaching the first bend involving Rushford (GB), ridden by H.J
Horgan, and Deep Vein, ridden by Emily Grifferty, where it appeared Rushford ran short of room momentarily
Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the matter, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted
Reese Holohan, rider of Deluca Chop (FR), trained by S.M.Duffy, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount hung badly left up the straight
The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident in the home straight involving Midnight Stagger, ridden by Brandon Wilkie, Jurality (GB), ridden by J. Kearney, and My Vonnie, ridden by P.A. Harnett where it appeared My Vonnie ran short of room momentarily. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. P.A. Harnett stated that his mount was going backwards and he took a precautionary check. Brandon Wilkie stated that he took back off heels and his mount moved right half a stride more than he wanted but he corrected him immediately. J. Kearney stated that he was brought across slighty but did his best to keep straight. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted.
