263D Grant Thornton Nursery H'cap

The Raceday Stewards enquired into possible interference at the road crossing involving The Bear Trap, ridden by S. Foley, placed second, Expecto, ridden by R.P. Cleary, placed fourth, and Finsceal Annie, ridden by J.A. Powell, placed third, where it appeared that interference may have occurred. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. S. Foley stated that he received a knock on bump from his right but it didn't affect his position. R.P. Cleary stated that he received a bump from his inner which cost him valuable momentum which he felt cost him third place. J.A. Powell stated that his filly ducked left at the road crossing bumping the horse on his outer but he did his best to correct her. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were of the opinion that Finsceal Annie had caused interference to Expecto and as a result of this interference had improved it’s finishing position. As a consequence, the Raceday Stewards reversed the placings of the third and fourth placed horses and amended the result to read as follows:

Amended Result:
First: Velvet Skies
Second: The Bear Trap
Third: Expecto
Fourth: Finsceal Annie
Fifth: Poppadom
Sixth: Rogerwaswrong

Furthermore, the Raceday Stewards were of the opinion that J.A. Powell had taken all reasonable steps to prevent the interference from occurring and therefore took no further action.

R.P. Cleary, rider of Expecto, trained by J. S. Bolger, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount received a very bad bump at the road crossing which cost him third place.
