Leopardstown 11th June 2026

The Stewards authorised the following substitutions of riders at this meeting:

The Raceday Stewards informed Noel Meade, trainer, that Star Glory, would have to be recertified before being declared to run from stalls again.

The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident in the home straight involving Caoch The Piper, ridden by J.A. Heffernan, and Celtic Moon (FR), ridden by J.A. Powell, where it appeared contact was made between the two. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. J.A. Heffernan stated that his mount received a slight bump. J.A. Powell stated that his mount was very green and as he edged her out, she overexaggerated. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted.

N.G. McCullagh, rider of Lily Bear, trained by M.C. Grassick, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount got upset in the stalls by the horse who was withdrawn and ran keen as a result.

P.A. Harnett, rider of Into Tomorrow, trained by Kieran P. Cotter, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount ran up on heels and had to take a check. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the matter, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted.
