An enquiry was held into the running and riding of Song Of Beauty (FR), ridden by Robbie Downey and trained by Tony Carroll, which was slowly away and raced midfield on the rails, before appearing to be conservatively handled from entering the home straight until being asked for an effort inside the final furlong, staying on to finish sixth of eight runners, beaten by 6¼ lengths.
The rider and the trainer’s representative were interviewed and shown recordings of the race and the Veterinary Officer reported that a post-race examination of the filly, during routine testing, failed to reveal any abnormalities.
The rider stated that the trainer indicated to him that the filly should get a mile in trip once she had strengthened up but his instructions, on this occasion, were to get a good position and finish as close as he could.
He added that he was pleased with the way Song Of Beauty (FR) travelled in the race but, on entering the home straight, he thought that Racy Stacey (GB) was going to drift left in front of him so did not fully commit to a drive.
Having lost momentum it then took him time to re-organise Song Of Beauty (FR) before he could ask her for maximum effort and, when he did so, she found little under pressure which, he felt was due to being both weak and green.
The representative of Tony Carroll confirmed the instructions and stated that she was satisfied that the ride accorded with those instructions.
Their explanations were noted.
Following the race, Kieran O'Neill reported that Colliene Do Rois (GB), unplaced, ran green and Eoin Walsh reported that Tip Top (GB), placed third, ran in snatches.
