C.M. Quirke, rider of Rebel Cowgirl, trained by M.A.Cahill, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that he was unhappy with the start
The Raceday Stewards enquired into the start of this race. Evidence was heard from IHRB Starter, Mr. P. Moloney, and riders Cian Quirke, John Aherne and Kieran Buckley. Mr. Moloney stated he was keeping them all under control, they were coming forward and he effected a fair start. Mr. Buckley stated he was upsides and as he came forward the flag is up, the flag was still up when Mr. Aherne was galloping and he got detached and lost all chance
Mr. Quirke stated that he was three off the rail, calm and collected and was waiting for the flag to drop and he never got involved. Mr. Aherne stated that his horse was buzzy, the flag went up and he gave his mount a squeeze
Having considered all the evidence, the Raceday Stewards allowed the result to stand. The Raceday Stewards did however find John Aherne in breach of Rule 208 by putting his horse into a canter with a view to taking an advantage and having considered his record in this regard suspended him for two race days. The Raceday Stewards also referred the actions of the IHRB Starter to a Senior Racing Official
