See also » Bow Echo digs deep to foil Gstaad in St James’s Palace thriller I was feeling pretty good a furlong out, but then Ryan started coming back. I did sort of think that Aidan had always said that his horse would get further so huge credit to the runner-up as he was gallant today. I think that was the first time he’s got into a proper battle. Obviously I’ve only watched it once, but it was quite a scrap early doors, he was almost keen at one point, William’s horse (Buick, on Talk Of New York) came past and I think we’ll see a better horse now that he’s been in a scrap like that. He’s done everything we’ve hoped; it’s fine margins in this game and luckily he was on the right side of it. George Boughey, trainer
THE ST JAMES'S PALACE STAKES (CLASS 1) (Group 1) Permission was given for Lord Britain (GB) to wear a red hood to post.
An enquiry was held to consider interference shortly after the start involving Gstaad (GB), placed second, ridden by Ryan Moore; the winner, Bow Echo (IRE), ridden by Billy Loughnane; Talk Of New York (GB), placed third, ridden by William Buick; and Power Blue (IRE), placed fourth, ridden by David Egan.
Moore was suspended for 3 days for careless riding for allowing his mount to edge left-handed without correction causing Bow Echo (IRE) and Talk Of New York (GB) and Puerto Rico (IRE) to become short of room for a number of strides when awkwardly placed between Gstaad (GB) and Power Blue (IRE) on the far outside.
An enquiry was held to consider whether C Soumillon, the rider of Puerto Rico (IRE), placed sixth, rode in a manner to benefit Gstaad (GB), placed second, ridden by Ryan Moore, and in doing so caused minimal interference to Power Blue (IRE), placed fourth, ridden by David Egan.
Soumillon, Moore and Egan were interviewed and shown recordings of the incident, and Aidan O’Brien, the trainer of Puerto Rico (IRE) and Gstaad (GB), was interviewed via telephone.
Soumillon was suspended for 8 days for riding his mount in such a way that intended to give an advantage to another horse from the same stable, in that he moved his mount away from the rail thereby ensuring a clear run for Gstaad (GB) on his inside.
