The Raceday Stewards interviewed Mr C.A. Bowman, rider of Politicise, concerning his use of the whip in the closing stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned who accepted he was in breach of the Whip Regulation and apologised for his actions. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that Mr C.A. Bowman was in breach of R.10.3(b)(hitting their mount when out of contention) and having considered his clean record in this regard, they suspended him for three racedays.

The Raceday Stewards reviewed an incident at the last hurdle involving Nells Choice, ridden by Mr R. James, unplaced, Tullyhogue Fort, ridden by Mr P.J.

349G Fairyhouse P-To-P INH Flat Race

The Raceday Stewards enquired into possible interference in the closing stages of this race involving Full Confession, ridden by Mr P.W. Mullins, placed first, Milo Miller (GB), ridden by Mr A. Harney, placed second, and Youlita, ridden by Mr J.G. Murphy, placed third, where it appeared interference had occurred. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Mr J.G. Murphy stated that he was in the gap when he felt pressure from his outside and had to check. He further added that he felt he would have been second at least. Mr A. Harney stated that he got pushed towards the rail but was aware of the horse on his inner. Mr P.W. Mullins stated that when he struck his mount he went right but he corrected him immediately. He further added that he could only see the horse on his inside and not the horse on the rail. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were of the opinion that while Full Confession had caused interference to Milo Miller and Youlita, he did not improve his finishing position as a result of this interference so they made no alteration to the Judge’s placings. They were, however, of the opinion that Mr. P.W. Mullins was in breach of Rule 214 in that he had ridden carelessly and having considered his clean record in this regard the Raceday Stewards suspended him for three racedays.

Mr D. Doyle, rider of Trasna Na Pairce, trained by P.M.J.Doyle, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount hung left throughout.

Mr J.G. Murphy, rider of Youlita, trained by Paul Cashman, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount was hampered inside the last furlong.
