Dundalk 1st November 2013

The Stewards fined the following trainer in respect of their non-runner:-

The Stewards authorised the following substitutions of riders at this meeting:

The Stewards received a report from Mr W. Fleming , Turf Club Clerk of the Scales, regarding the fact that C.P. Hoban , rider of She's Not Simple , weighed in at 1.8 lbs overweight. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned. Having considered the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that the rider was in breach of Rule 231 and they therefore suspended him for 1 race day.

Patrick Martin, trainer of Knock Stars, reported to the Office of the Governing Bodies on Friday 22nd November that the saddle moved as his charge left the stalls on his last run at Dundalk 1st November last.

F.M. Berry, rider of Lightening Stricks trained by M.J. Tynan, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount hung badly left handed under pressure.

The Stewards enquired into possible interference in the home straight involving Daymooma (GB), ridden by C.D. Hayes, placed second, Majestic Queen, ridden by N.G. McCullagh, unplaced, Pearl Of Africa, ridden by J.P. Murtagh, placed first and Tobann, ridden by K.J. Manning, unplaced, where it appeared that both Majestic Queen and Tobann met with interference. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards made no alteration to the judges placings. They did, however, advise both J.P.Murtagh and C.D.Hayes to ride with more care in the future.

W.J. Lee, rider of Esytopolishadimond trained by Michael J. Browne, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount lost action and was therefore pulled up.

The Stewards informed Ms. Joanna Morgan, trainer that Antiquus, would have to be recertified before being declared to run from stalls again.

D.P. McDonogh, rider of Lean And Keen trained by Sean Byrne, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount hung badly on the run to the line.
