Sam said he’s a big baby and he wasn’t doing a stroke the whole way around,. He said until he passed the line he never thought he was going to win because he was pulling up everywhere. He’s just a big raw horse, who wants a jump and good ground. I’d say he’s a big chaser. I’d say he couldn’t handle soft ground in bumpers. It’s grand that he’s won now anyway. Gordon Elliott, trainer

The Raceday Stewards enquired into possible interference in the closing stages of this race involving Lemmy Caution (FR), ridden by S. Ewing, placed first, and The Rebel Fox, ridden by K.M. Donoghue, placed second, where it appeared interference may have occurred. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. S. Ewing stated that he was clear and felt he had caused no interference. K.M. Donoghue stated that his mount was crossed in the closing stage and he felt it had cost him a place. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were of the opinion that while Lemmy Caution had caused minor interference to The Rebel Fox he did not improve his finishing position as a result of this interference so they made no alteration to the Judge’s placings and took no further action
