It’s great for the Cribbin family and especially the young man that rode him. It’s what Punchestown is all about, the joy he’s got from riding that winner. I told him to keep an eye on Barry O’Neill (rider of Alpha Male). He’s ridden about 700 point-to-point winners and he won’t put you too far wrong. This horse had leg trouble and was off for a good while. He’s run in a few point-to-points but is no star. He’s done what we hoped he might do and he could come back for this race again next year. T M Walsh, trainer

The Stewards reviewed an incident after the last fence involving Alpha Male (FR), ridden by Mr B. O'Neill and Jezarus, ridden by Mr I. Cribbin, where it appeared both horses drifted towards the inside running rail. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the matter, the Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted.
