056A Castle Star And Alkumait Irish EBF Mdn

The Raceday Stewards received a report from the Irish Horse Racing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer, Ms. J. Taylor, regarding the identification of Hes Bullet Proof, trained by Michael Mulvany. Ms. J. Taylor reported that the horse presented for identification was not Hes Bullet Proof but in fact another two year old bay colt called Sunriseontheboyne. Evidence was heard from Michael Mulvany who stated that both horses were bought on the same day, microchipped on arrival at the yard but a mix up then occurred in the identification and he accepted full responsibility for the error and apologised. Having considered the report and the evidence, the Raceday Stewards, pursuant to the provisions of Rule 90(vi), ordered the withdrawal of Hes Bullet Proof and having considered Michael Mulvany's record(clean record) in this regard they fined him €500 on this occasion.

The Raceday Stewards enquired into possible interference in the closing stages involving Arizona Blaze (GB), ridden by D. Egan, placed first, and Rowdy Yeats, ridden by C.T. Keane, placed second, where it appeared interference may have occurred. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. D. Egan stated that his mount rolled slightly when he used the stick. C. T. Keane stated that he received very minor interference and it was of little consequence. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were of the opinion that while Arizona Blaze had caused minor interference to Rowdy Yeats, he did not improve his finishing position as a result of this interference so they made no alteration to the Judge’s placings and took no further action.
