136C Qatar Racing Equestrian Ballyogan Stakes

The Stewards enquired into an incident leaving the stalls involving Sonaiyla, ridden by R.P. Whelan, placed first and Loch Lein, ridden by S. Foley, placed fourth, where it appeared that Loch Lein jumped left into Sonaiyla. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. R. P. Whelan stated that his mount wears a hood in the stalls and when he pulled off the hood as the stalls opened his mount baulked slightly and was slow away as a consequence. He added that he felt there may not have been an incident had his mount jumped sharper. S. Foley stated that his mount jumped left from the stalls and he apologised for not reporting this to the Clerk of the Scales. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that any interference which occurred was accidental in nature, and they took no further action.

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Lustown Baba, trained by W. McCreery, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal.

J.A. Heffernan, rider of More Beautiful (USA) trained by A.P.O'Brien, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount got tight for room in the closing stages.

The Stewards enquired into an incident about two and a half furlongs from home involving Agitare, ridden by K.J. Manning, unplaced and Reve De Vol, ridden by C.T. Keane, placed first, where it appeared that Agitare had to check off heels. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. K. J. Manning stated that his mount was off the bridle and only just holding his position when he anticipated Reve De Vol coming out, as he could see how well it was going. C. T. Keane stated that his mount travelled well and he pulled out when he thought he was clear but straightened again as soon as he heard K. J. Manning shout. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted.
