it was good to get and she did it well. She (Woods) gave her a really good ride I thought: she doesn't get many opportunities but is good value for her 7lb claim. The real story with this filly is that on her last run on the turf she fell on the road, she went down and picked herself up and ran on and finished fifth (at Down Royal). She got a very bad cut and got damage in the tissue of the tendon. John the vet in Anglesey Lodge did a great job, we saved her and that's why she is on the team, having just a 50-odd rated. She has been running well and she handles this ground. Edward Lynam, trainer

The Raceday Stewards granted a request from Daniel McLoughlin, trainer of Twotolose for an additional 10 minutes to present his charge for identification to an IHRB Official in accordance with the provisions of Rule 90 (i)

The Raceday Stewards reviewed an incident shortly after leaving the stalls involving Mary Shoelaces, ridden by Alexandra Egan, Aurora Nova, ridden by W. Joyce, and Platino Bianco, ridden by M.L. Malone, where it appeared these horses came close together. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the matter, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that the incident was caused by Platino Bianco jumping right and that no further action was warranted

T. Casey, rider of Velvet Skies, trained by Michael Mulvany, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount stumbled leaving the stalls

M.L. Malone, rider of Platino Bianco, trained by Chris Timmons, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount jumped right from the stalls

J.S. Dalton, rider of My Girl Sioux, trained by Andrew Slattery, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount received a bump leaving the stalls

The Raceday Stewards interviewed Daniel McLoughlin, trainer, and Adam Browne-Souza, rider, in relation to the late arrival of Twotolose to the start. Evidence was heard from the trainer and rider concerned. The trainer stated that he instructed the rider to take his time going down as he didn't want the horse to get a run on him. The rider stated that he trotted down and didn't realise he was going to be late to the start. Having considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards reminded the trainer and rider of their responsibilities under Rule 205(i).
