See also » McCarthy bags dramatic '1-3' in Bishopscourt Cup Fountain House finished second in the Ladies Cup here last year and it’s been my plan since to come back and win this race, as there is great history behind it. I’m a Galway-man originally but am based 25 minutes away, so this is brilliant to get over the line. This horse has brought so much joy to us as a family and we’re looking forward to the future with him. He rubbed one fence early on today but it was a blessing in disguise and Eyes Off Annie ran a blinder for Maxine (O’Sullivan). I had breezers selling yesterday and another couple next week: obviously that’s a big investment but I was never as nervous in my life as I was coming in here this morning. It’s a great thrill, a great sport and game. It’s just brilliant that it came off. Ian John McCarthy, trainer
The Raceday Stewards reviewed an incident at the final fence involving Fountain House, ridden by Mr E. Mahon, placed first, and Eyes Off Annie, ridden by Miss M. O'Sullivan, placed third, where it appeared they came together in mid air. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the matter, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted
At the request of the Raceday Stewards, Mr E. Mahon, rider of Fountain House, trained by Ian John McCarthy, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that he lost his left iron at the last fence on the first circuit for a couple of strides before regaining it.
