The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer, Dr Graham Adams examined Longhouse Poet (IRE), trained by Martin Brassil, at the request of the Raceday Stewards and reported the animal to be post-race normal. However, Dr Adams reported to the Raceday Stewards that on inspecting Longhouse Poet he noticed what appeared to be a venepuncture of the left jugular vein with fresh blood that had not been seen when the animal was presented for inspection and microchip scanning prior to racing. Evidence was heard from Dr Adams and from Mr Brassil. Mr Brassil stated that Duphalyte was administered to the animal the previous evening by their own Veterinary Surgeon, which accounted for the puncture wound. Dr Adams stated that following his initial post-race inspection of Longhouse Poet there was no evidence of blood however as the horse was walking around to cool down fresh blood was then noticed. He acknowledged that the mark on the horse could be associated with the administration of Duphalyte, however, he said that it would be unusual to see fresh blood at this point. Dr Adams confirmed that there was no evidence of equipment for giving intravenous injections following an examination of the stables, kit bags and horse box. Having considered the matter, the Raceday Stewards noted the explanation given and ordered that a full post-race sample be taken from Longhouse Poet for further analysis
