293D Gracie's Bar Beginners S'chase

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Quarry Tiepy, trained by W.P. Mullins, at the request of the Raceday Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal.

Eoin Staples, rider of Hatfield Hammer, trained by Paul Nolan, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his saddle slipped and he pulled up.

The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident on the bend after the fourth last fence involving Fremantle Doctor, ridden by Ben Harvey, placed third, Mr Eastwood, ridden by Paul Kavanagh, unplaced, and Hurricane Honey, ridden by Kieren Buckley, placed second, where it appeared Mr Eastwood ran short of room. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Ben Harvey stated that the horse on his outside moved in slightly causing his mount to move in also but he was aware of the horse on his inside. Paul Kavanagh stated that his race was run when he received minor interference. Kieran Buckley stated that his mount shifted slightly right but there was always enough room for two on his inner. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards found Ben Harvey was in breach of Rule 214 in that he had ridden carelessly, and having considered his record in this regard (first offence) the Raceday Stewards suspended Ben Harvey for two racedays. Furthermore, the Raceday Stewards reminded Paul Kavanagh of his responsibilities under Rule 272, to give accurate evidence, and under Rule 213, to report anything that might have affected the running of his mount in a race.

293G Brenda Anderson Memorial H'cap S'chase

Michael Kenneally, rider of Eddies Pride, trained by Norman Lee, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount was slightly hampered when the loose horse came down after it appeared to clip a heel.
