He's a tough little horse. He ran a great race first run in a handicap (at Sligo) and then Sean (O'Keeffe) rode him the last day and we fancied him. He had a real clear passage and then a horse just side on hit him in Tramore, and Sean said he wasn't travelling after that and he just was easy on him. I'm delighted for Conor; he does a lot of schooling for me. He's a good lad and he is always available and he would school a lot of the horses for me. Sean O'Keeffe usually rides my horses, but Conor does all the schooling for me in the Curragh. He is a brilliant schooling jockey. It is great to see him getting the winners now because he is some value for his claim. He gave that a brilliant ride. Conor actually rode my first runner probably six years ago at the start of August, so I know Conor a good while. We'll tip away with Blue Moon Boy. I was going to run him in the 0-100 and the conditions of this race were like a 95 - 110. He is 95 and he got in with the allowance and Conor did the weight on him. I'm delighted for the owner (Gerhard Matte). It is his third win for us and he bred him. I've never met the man; he lives in Germany and is a doctor. He's going to be a nice dual-purpose horse. He's only a four-year-old. Andrew Kinirons, trainer

The Raceday Stewards interviewed Caragh Monaghan, rider of Sea Of Doubt, concerning her use of the whip in the closing stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned who felt that one strike had not connected but then having viewed the footage, accepted that she was in breach of the Whip Regulation and apologised for her actions. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that Caragh Monaghan was in breach of R.10.3(g)(frequency) and having considered her record in this regard (second offence) they suspended her for five racedays

M.P. O'Connor, rider of Fedneys Park, trained by Henry de Bromhead, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount clipped a heel on the run to the last. The Racedays Stewards reviewed the incident and the approach of the whole field to the last hurdle and were satisfied that no further action was warranted

The Raceday Stewards reviewed the riders first approach to the start and were satisfied that the false start was as a result of Fedneys Park's unruly behaviour and as such that no further action was warranted

The Raceday Stewards informed the Authorised Representative of Henry de Bromhead, trainer of Fedneys Park, that a repeat performance of his charge, who behaved unruly at the start, may render the animal liable to a suspension in the future.
