They are amazing owners and they sort of give me free rein,. I thought the handicapper had caught up on him and didn’t think he’d progress unless we’d be better back at two miles on heavy ground. That was my last roll of the dice. I said to the lads after Christmas I’d freshen him up and wait for two miles on heavy ground. I was planning on riding him reasonably positive but then Tiernan came out and said there was loads of pace in the race. He gave him an unbelievably good ride today, he’s class and it’s great to have a stable jockey that’s able to ride like that. He was flat out on good ground, he wasn’t a summer horse. I always felt that he’d improve on softer ground. The horses are going well and it’s a credit to the staff at home, they are an amazing bunch of people. Anthony Elliott has looked after this lad for the last few weeks. I sent him to ride him up around the farm and forestry to do different things with him. It’s definitely been a big help.
P J Rothwell, trainer
The Raceday Stewards reviewed an incident on the turn into the straight involving Fierce Handay, ridden by M.P
Walsh, I A Connect, ridden by Caragh Monaghan, and Give Him A Chance, ridden by T. Power Roche, where it appeared I A Connect checked. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the matter, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted
The Raceday Stewards requested a report from P.J. Rothwell, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Give Him A Chance, placed first, as compared with its recent form. The trainer reported that he ran him back too soon the last time and the step back in trip today may have accounted for the return to form. Having considered the report the Raceday Stewards noted the explanation offered
GENERAL INFORMATION The following Raceday Stewards acted on behalf of the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board at this race meeting: Mr. N.B. Wachman (Chairman) Mr. P.N. Reynolds Mr. J. Weld Mr. N.C. McCarthy Mr. C.J. Sweeney
