We’re delighted with her. I was worried that it was her first run in a handicap, she has been on and off the bridle in her last two races,. I didn’t know if she’d be keen or behind the bridle. I said to Alex (Harvey) to have her handy and go from there. If she was keen, there was nothing we could do about it, but I’d rather have her up there. She never missed a beat - she had a bit of a look at the last, but Alex knows her from home so he knew what to do with her. He was very good on her. She’s not a big, strong filly - she’ll probably handle a bit of nice ground, so we’ll keep her in over the summer. We’ll see what the handicapper does with her and go off that.
Patrick T Foley, trainer
The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Are You Busy, trained by Rodger Sweeney, at the request of the Raceday Stewards and reported the animal to have blood at both nostrils post race
Under the provisions of Rule 212(B) the Raceday Stewards enquired into the apparent improvement in form of Rathbawn Soldier, trained by Patrick T. Foley, placed first compared with its recent form. Evidence was heard from the trainer concerned who stated that he was happy with her first three runs. He added she was quite keen on her first run and on her third run she ran very keen on the way to the start before racing behind the bridle. Finally he said she should benefit from a step up in trip going forward. Having considered the matter the Raceday Stewards noted the explanations of the trainer. Mr. Raymond J. McSharry recused himself from this enquiry.
