The Raceday Stewards interviewed J.A.Stack, trainer of Grande Cuvee, in relation to his charge who was a non runner due to the going when there had been no change of going since declaration time. Evidence was heard from the trainer who stated that his charge would have needed a little bit of rain owing to its confirmation but it failed to materialize and with this in mind he withdrew his charge. Having considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards accepted the trainers explanation on this occasion and did not impose a fine.

Evidence was heard from the trainers Authorised Representative, Gerard Flynn. Gerard Flynn stated that D.P. McDonogh rides the majority of their horses and is familiar with the animal who can be very difficult. He added that he has ridden her on both occasions on the track when it had won. Having considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards accepted that there was merit in the request but felt it did no comply with Regulation 3 (owned by the same owner and trained by the same trainer) and therefore denied the request.
