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

R.L. Moore replaced J.A. Heffernan on The Entertainer, trained by A.P. O'Brien (Race 2)(Intended mount a non runner)

123B GAIN Marble Hill Stakes

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined The Entertainer, trained by A.P. O'Brien, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal.

123C Weatherbys Ireland Greenlands Stakes

At the request of the Handicapper, the Stewards received a report from Joseph G. Murphy, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Gustavus Weston, placed first, as compared with its previous run over five furlongs at Naas on 16th May. Joseph G. Murphy reported that in conjunction with his son Joseph, the training regime for their charge was changed after The Gladness Stakes here on the 17th April. Around that time it was noted that the animal had lost weight, was fretting and had the vices of being a box walker and a weaver. The animal was restabled into a larger space and gradually began to thrive and put on weight. In his opinion, the animal was probably in need of the race most recently at Naas but also appreciated the extra trip today at a track where he had been victorious previously. Having considered the evidence the Stewards noted the content of the report.

The Stewards interviewed R.P. Cleary, rider of Mac Swiney, concerning his use of the whip in the latter stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned. In his evidence, R.P.

Cleary was in breach of R10(3)(g) by using his whip with excessive frequency. Having taken his previous record into consideration, the Stewards suspended R.P. Cleary for six racedays.
