171C Hollywoodbets We're Painting H'cap

S. Foley, rider of Almost An Angel (GB) trained by J.Larkin, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount never travelled on the ground.

The Stewards informed Joseph Patrick O'Brien, trainer that Camdeboo, would have to be recertified before being declared to run from stalls again.

The Stewards enquired into the circumstances surrounding Camdeboo and Higher Kindom, both of which were withdrawn at the start, where Higher Kingdom had to be led from the stalls back to the stableyard with Camdeboo having being taken back in the Blue Cross Horse Ambulance. Evidence was heard from the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Starter Mr. J.R. Banahan, Racecourse vet, Mr. Ernan O'Donnell, Blue Cross Ambulance driver, Ms. Laura Bert, and trainer of Higher Kingdom, John C. O'Connell. Having considered all the evidence, the Stewards felt a resources issue appeared to be the main reason for Higher Kingdom having to be led back. They deemed this to be unacceptable and were of the opinion there should be two Blue Cross Ambulances at each race meeting so they referred the matter to the CEO of The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board for further investigation.
