Curragh 29th March 2015

The Stewards enquired into an incident in the latter stages of this race involving Greyscape, ridden by D.P. McDonogh, unplaced, Hasselnott (GB), ridden by F.M. Berry, placed third, State Of Emergency, ridden by E.J. McNamara, placed first and Bebhinn (USA), ridden by C.D. Hayes, placed second, where it appeared interference had taken place. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that E. J. McNamara was in breach of Rule 214 in that he had ridden carelessly and having considered his record, suspended him for one race day. Furthermore the Stewards advised C. D. Hayes to ride with more care in the future.

C.D. Hayes, rider of Avenue Gabriel (GB) trained by P.D. Deegan, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount may be in season.

The Turf Club Veterinary Officer examined Avenue Gabriel (GB), trained by P.D. Deegan, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be showing signs that she may be in season.
